alright well first of all..this problem gets worse the colder it is outside (seems like that at least)...if i push down on the front left side of my car it sounds like springs in a bed squeaking..and also when im turning the wheel while going slow (pulling in/out of parking spaces) its kind of like a grinding sound..like if you move a big table across a wood floor...if i had to guess i'd say the squeaking is my spring but i dunno..and i dunno wtf the other noise is..thanks in advance for any advice

I think the pressing down on the car squeking or what ever is either the shock (is it bouncier than the others) or the spring (jack it up and try turning the spring clockwise, mite not be settled). Is it more like a click click click when u turn cause that would be a cv goin out. If not i'd just check the whole assembly for any kind of wear.

Like i said the squeeking is most likley your ball joints or control arm bushings, and as for the grinding, i'd take a look at the dust shield behind your rotor.
