load squeaking from front wheel
i have a very loud squeaking maybe even a grind noise coming from the front passenger side wheel area. and theres a loud squeaking noise when i go over bumps also. It is so loud that people actually turn there heads when i am driving down the road. but when i get some speed going it seems to go away a little. does anyone know what this could be or how i can fix this. I have just parked the car and will not be driving it until it is fixed. please help!!

Sounds like you have two noises going on. One is "squeaks going over bumps", but the more serious one sounds like the squeaking/grinding noise when you are moving that seems to diminish with higher speeds. I highly doubt that the cause of THAT noise is LBJs or strut rod bushings.

my friend had a similar problem with his integra, when he went to fix it he found out that it was his rotors and if he had driven on it any longer, things coulda gotten nasty ><

I have ben dealing with this same issue on my '96. With about 350,000 miles on it I have been going through the front end with new LBJs, strut rods, control arms, upper arms, rotors, pads, etc. Somewhere along the way it developed a very loud screech from the right front and the Wife refused to drive it. It would screech while stationary going from lock to lock, during low speed turns, over bumps, even when I bounced the front end by hand, but decrease with speed. The noise would go away when the front end was jacked up and steering from lock to lock. Turns out the RH steering rack boot was slightly torn. I slid the boot to the side and cleaned the crud out of the inner ball joint and rack seal/bushing area and lubed it while actuating the steering. Squeek went away for a bit then returned, so I cleaned the areas again and packed them with grease. So far so good. Your Mileage May Vary
