My 2006 Impala has a "squeak" in the left front area of the car. It is intermittent though. The squeak can sometimes be heard when I shut the drivers side door or rock the car back and forth. Not sure if this is a suspension issues or if anyone else has had this problem. Also, the steering doesn't feel as solid as it once did... it feels like there is a knock or movement. The steering wheel doesn't move it just feels odd when going over bumps or turning.

Performance Air Intakes

on the frame left side by the road wheel area

Disconnect the battery the turn signal switch or sometimes called multifunction switch is shorting out. This can potential start a fire even when the car is not being operated. This may have a tsb or recall I would have it towed to your pontiac dealer

I don't.
I have spent many hours chasing elusive car noises over the last four decades, mostly with success.
Most of those noises were troublesome because they were intermittent and could not be duplicated in the workshop.

I think one of the most difficult to trace was the most horrible noisy vibration that would seem to run right through the car sometimes. It was as if some serious mechanical disaster was happening. The cause when I found it (by accident) was a front mudguard that rested on the front indicator lamp instead of having a small clearance between them.

When a noise can be duplicated in the workshop by bouncing or rocking, with the aid of a mechanics stethoscope and sensitive fingers, locating the general area of a squeak is a mere formality though pinpointing can take a little longer.
Track rod ends and ball joints can cause very loud squeaks as can some of the rubber bushes.

Replacing parts in the vague hope of curing a noise is expensive desperation. Unless you gave specific instructions to have those items replaced your money should be refunded. I suggest you change your repairer as any repairer that replaces stuff without prior justification shouldn't be in business.

sounds like a fuse problem,check the fuses,sometimes the radio has a fuse on it you don't know till you take the radio out.

it sounds like you have a bad cv axle on the drivers side.

sound like the front strut needs replacing

You brakes are no longer any good. Most times, the squeaking and rubbing noises are caused by brake pad wear, but you say the brakes are fine. Otherwise, if by constant rotation speed you mean the squeaking/rubbing noise is present even when the brakes are not applied, you might want to get the wheel bearing inspected.
also check out -------- The most common would be a loose P/S belt. If it is tight but is still the source, it could be a restriction in the P/S system causing high pressure and resistance in the pump.
