   i had my car lowered front and back and ever since wen you turn right i hear a squeaking noise. the guy i bort it off put it on lift and checked wheels ect and couldnt find anything wrong. he sed it could be the drive shaft squaking because it sits at a diffrent angle now. any one else had problams like this after lowering and any idears on how much a driveshaft will cost

   That should be ok , long as the drive shaft gaitors arent split and they dont knock ( when in full lock to check) all should be well
   Sure its not just a front caliper sticking , that would give a "squeak" rather than a knock
