Awesome guys! The noise is isolated to the left (driver side in the US). It *feels* like a part related to load-bearing suspension, ie it's orders of magnitued worse when making a turn than just sitting idle cranking the wheel back and forth. I'd think if it was sterring box or pump it wouls howl (not squeeke) while sitting still (the most resistance).
Thus I'm hoping (to a certain extent) lower ball-joint. Been a few decades since I've done this sort of maint but since I hardly drive the car I'm going to give it a shot.
I'm just bummed I don't get to take my *classic* on the trip today and have to take the SUV instead (which just got back from the body shop Monday and looks awesome).
I was reading another thread about ball-joints and the Moog (TRW) part did not get a good note.. any suggestions on where I should order the part from? I might also do the front struts at the same time so I'm open to suggestions on those as well.
Here is a photo of my *classic* W124..
