I also dunno lo.. I asked the mech which part was he referring to, and he
pointed to something that looks like a cable located somewhere behind the
engine.

My car is abt 4 yrs old now

The mech says my front wheel alignment cannot be fixed coz that steering
bush rosak.

When turning that time, yes, if the corner is sharp (90 deg) then got
sound.

allignment no matter how many time you do it.

hey guys - I have a 4 month old Wira SE with a steering related problem
as well - when I turn the steering on the move, there's an annoyingly
loud squeaking sound coming from the front suspension area. But when I'm
turning the steering with the car stationary, there's no sound...could
this be my steering bush as well? PESB has had a look at my car like 5
times since new, and they cant solve the problem. So fed up with the
squeaking I'm seriously considering just selling the car if I cant solve
it.....any suggestions/advise, guys?

Check your suspension and lower arm bush.
