Bikini pics! Nope, just a new suspension noise

[rossiski]

O' mighty internet, I beseech thee to aid me in my quest to diagnose a left front suspension noise. 'Tis very baffling and uncouth and only on the one side. Sharp eyes may find another vexation...but alas, the leaking CV boot is not the nefarious culprit! 'Tis a different labor-intensive dilemma for the noise has been plaguing my family long before the boot shat up its contents.

What divinest thou as to the cause of such horror?

(Thanks!)

Lower Control arm bushing, lower strut mount or your lower ball joint. Take your pick, I've had this noise from all the above. Looks like excessive play in your lower ball joint.
