Default wierd noise :(

hey guys, not sure if im posting in the correct forum, but anywho, for some reason a few days ago my car started to make a wierd noise, i dontknow what it is, but its coming from the front passanger side tire, i dontknow what it is, for example, when you let go of the gas and let the car roll it makes that sound for a split second, and when u step on the brake slowely it makes that sound as well, i have no clue wat it is thats making that noise honestly, its some sort of a squeeking noise, but i dontknow why and from where exactly is it coming from, or when i turn the steering wheel that tire makes the sound too any ideas guys?

what kind of sound is it? Did you check your brake pads?

Is it a clear knocking sound or a squeeking sound.

1) Check if your pads are worn.
2) Check your lug nuts if they're tight and torqued to spec.
3) I see you've lowered your car, check if your front struts are tight and torqued to spec. Did you install your springs yourself? And how long ago have you had your springs installed?

Try to answer these, and hopefully it'll help us diagnose the problem for ya.

tire rubbing on the fender? Warped brake rotors? bad bearing? improper tire alignment?
