So when i got my eclipse2ga the guy said it was missing a front clip cause the dudes mopm hit a hole well idk if theres more to the story or its get wore out but my frontend makes a squeaking noise in the pass. side when i turn an then just while im riding down a rough road it does any idea what i should replace or just take it to someone?!
 
You should look at the passenger side wheel. Behind it, around it. Make sure everything is still intact. Look at your tie rods, ball joints, look at your shocks too. I know sometimes when shocks are on their way out they squeak.
 
As others said jack her up and look for things that look like theyve moved. It sounds like a cv joint or a bad strut but its really hard to say as there is so much stuff that can cause these types of sounds. Can you feel it rubbing or clicking while turning? Does the wheel wobble back and forth and/or shake?
 
squeaking like that is from a ball joint. jack up the car and remove the wheel. try to extend and compress the strut and move all the suspension components as much as you can and you'll be able to hear them. If they've been replaced already they they'll be pretty easy to replace. if not then theres a good chance that that are riveted on from the factory and you'll have to grind or torch them off... Good Luck!
