Car:
Mazda 3 Hatchback BL 2009 2.0 MZR DISI 111KW 151ps
I have a weird squeaking noise from the chassis on the front right. I found a youtube Video with the same noise but my car doesnt have the wishbone at the top. Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/o6oIVhiDJA8?si=6wuVNGqnns55fK44

Theres no clacking, only squeaking, im about to order new wishbones for the front but im still not sure. Does anyone experience the same noise and managed to fix it? Its noticeable while driving, doesnt matter if you turn left or right, You can hear it better on bad roads. Its not coming from the brakes and as far as i know springs do clacking noise, i dont think its coming from the shock absorber since i hear the noice while moving the wheel left right wise and I hear nothing when I move the wheel from bottom to top. I may be wrong, im curious about you peoples experiences. (Sorry for bad english grammar, im learning english)

Its weird i cant find any thread on the internet or any Video on YouTube. Nothing seems broken but its pretty loud

You only have 1 lower control arm, so chances are good it's the forward or aft bushing

#

considering that video is not of your car, my suggestion is this

#

this will guarantee you replace the correct part, and it is also extremely useful to have around

This is the one I use at work. That screw on tip on the Harbor freight one doesnt like to tighten completely and vibrates in the threads.

Also the Lisle has a tip for things that you cant directly touch with the stethoscope, like moving pullies
