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?

Hi yes strut should be replaced and have the ball joints checked as well. You can replace one strut but we would reccomend both. Billymac
