When i'm driving about 10-40 miles per hour the driving performance of the two front wheels just doesn't feel right, it feels like you can sense the tire rolling down the street, when I'm driving a new car it feels different, you can't sense the tires and it ride smooth. when hit the speed bump you can hear the suspension from the front squicking a little, and when I'm drive over 10 miles per hour and hit the brake the steering wheels shake, I already change the brake pads,links, inner and outer rod, change it a little bit but the problem still there. I want it to be smooth when i'm driving, so can anybody help me. thank you[img:f38ec9502d]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/513591_P4070763_1.jpg[/img:f38ec9502d]

The squeak is most likely from sway bar bushings and if you hear a clunk or rattle, check the sway bar links and the lower control arm bushings.

As far as the vibration when you hit the brakes, the rotors must be warped. If you only feel that when braking, have them cut or replaced. (very easy to replace and not expensive).

Finally, are the tires worn smoothly? If they are chopped or cupped, they can cause a noise / vibration when driving.

Let me know.
