Default eeek eeek noise

When I make a left, my car makes this eeek...eeek...eeek noise, when I'm going straight and go over a bump there is no noise, I press the brakes on all stops no noise, making a right no noise...Any ideas guys?

I tried checking the front left brakes today and it looks fine, I even cleaned it a bit and it's still the same.

Mods? wheels? coilovers?

If you do, it might just be rubbing.

If the weather is cold, it cold be shock bushing. You can spray lithium grease on it and should make it go away. I would spray anything that moves aswell. Another tip, take your car to a mechanic or an oil change place and have them inject your ball joint with grease through the zerk fitting

Your front tires have an abnormal inner wear pattern?

Sorry for late reply guys, didn't think anyone replied after :P

But anyway, the mechanic said it was due to a piece of metal scraping the brakes, not sure how it got there to be honest, but overall nothing was damaged
