98 Plymouth Breeze Front End Noise

I have a 98 Breeze, 2.0L Auto. that has numerous noises coming from the front suspension. The car has 57K miles. I have looked under the front, there is nothing visibly damaged. Lots of creaks, squeeks and moans and groans. Liberal doses of WD 40 on the spring seats has had no lasting effect. I know that the plastic wheel covers are noisy, but I'm looking for info on suspension and or steering rack noise. I have done a search of the NHTSA web site, there are TSB's listed about noisy front ends, but no details. Anybody out there that can point me in the right direction to clear this up?

Could be the lower ball joint(s). I had the same symptoms - unidentified squeaking and groaning. Became obvious what it is later, when it wore out enough to start turning into one direction when braking, and into the other - when accelerating. (On a 98 Stratus).

Ralph, without hearing the noise or driving it would be hard to say what it is on line, there are a few TSB's for noises for that vehicle

02-05-98 intermittent poping noise/ possibly bad outer tie rod end/very easy to check 19-02-99 clunking noise or rattle in steering wheel/special bolt and nut for the steering coupler

When you say looked under the front, was that vehicle off the ground? If not, I would have the vehicle raised and have the suspension checked for worn parts by a qualified technician
