It seems that the right front struts make a sqeeking sound or a sound like rubber rubbing. It does not happern all the time, only on certain bumps and when I make a left turn. Recently had the tie rods replaced on the right front side. Do I need to replace the front struts? And if so, can I only replace the right side strut?
