Default weird squeak ???

today i noticed something odd. about half way thru the day the weather turned damp and now i have a loud squeak whenever i hit a bump in the road. the squeak is pretty loud and sounds like it is to the left of the steering wheel. the only thing i did to the car before this was install a subwoofer but i doubt that would cause a squeak. the car is an 04 touring with 7500 miles!!

Hard to guess. Does it sound like its inside, like a cover panel, or outside, like shock/strut bushing? [:I]

discovered it by accident. my pioneer speaker had come loose - two screws worked their way out in the drivers door and were scrapping against the body panel. little locktight and no more loose screws!

I had a squeak too. Turned out to be a bad ball joint on the left front. $255 later, no squeak.
