Default Whale Sounds

Today i went to make a left turn and as i was pulling off i heard this whale like sound coming from my left front wheel. I got home and had my girl turn the wheel while i listened (who btw never turns it the right way) and it sounded like it came from the upper control arm. For a car my year which was purchased with 60K on it does that sound right and if that is it how much would the dealer rape me. If it's not it then what else am i looking @. If it helps i've been doing some serious highway driving mixed some city driving, lots of pot holes and ohh sh*ts.

I think I might have an answer for you : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=350051691698 , buy these, and you won't have to worry about anything, I just bought them, since I have some issues too. I'll let U know how they are when I install them next week.
