I just replaced my front right control arm on my fwd 1G and as soon as I took it out on the road there is this horrible screeching noise when going straight or left. Any suggestions as to what it could be?

The only thing the comes to mind is that maybe your disc brake dust shield got bent and is rubbing against the brake rotor. You can check this from behind the wheel without having to remove the tire. A large flat blade screwdriver is your tool of choice here.

Hahahaha I’m officially the dunce of the century. You were spot on and I just bent the shield back and all my problems are now solved. Thanks man!
