    My son's 2001 Prius (Gen I) has squeaky noises in the front end. When I had the two front tires replaced yesterday, I asked them to see if they could diagnose the problem and he said he thought it could be the control arm because he had had the same noise in his Toyota Camry and that was what it was.

    Has anyone had the same problem? Any ideas?

    thanks, Debora

    If you 'bounce' the front end by putting your weight on it and off, does it squeek? I'm thinking the front struts.
