Ok developed a new problem today that really scares me. on a slow take off my car will bounce hard on the passengers side front end of the car. Idk what could be causing this. any ideas? I checked axles and they look good. tires are good and wheels are good. the bouncing stops after I get rolling and am completely off the clutch. I thought it might be a clutch problem but it doesn't do it while I'm driving and shifting only from a dead stop.
 
My passenger side front wheel does squeak going down the road. I assumed it was a sticky caliper cause when I hit the breaks the squeak stopped. but ill Jack it up and check it out today. any other suggestions for me to check while I got it up on stands?
 
Jack it up under the lower control arm to take the load off the suspension. Then shake the tire grabbing on both sides of it up and down (might need a prybar) and side to side. Also check the strut assembly out for leaks and check the strut mount for noise. If you feel something loose and can't see what it is have a friend shake it while you look.
