After just changing the alternator at 125000 km, I have an issue with the suspension now, on the front right side of my A4 2005 1.8T, I have an squeezing noise. When I push down on the front is squeeze, squeeze, squeeze... The curved lower suspension arm was replaced a few monts ago...Is necessary now to replace the front lower control arm? Thanks for commenting...

You probably mean "Squeak, Squeak, Squeak?" yeah, no doubt the strut top or one of the control arms. If is drives straight, has no shimmy in the wheel and even tire wear, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I have almost 240,000km and just starting to hear that. Typically you just get a kit and replace everything. Price is not expensive if you do it yourself, and isn't that hard.

Thanks for commenting. I have all the arms for the front suspension and the job will be done next wednesday. The same "squeak" is also there when the car is on idle and I turn the steering in place to the left or right, not only when I push the right side down...

Ah, that could still be the strut top, but could be tie rod ends - those typically come with the kit. Some chance this might not solve the problem if you just do the arms... won't hurt to change them though!
