Squeak When Moving From A Stop

I did some searching and haven't really gotten a solid answer so forgive me if this seems repetitive but...

Shortly after installing my Pedders I began to hear a little squeak just about every time clutch grabs ( KY 6 puck) and I start to move from a dead stop. I pretty much only hear it when starting from a stop. Never while driving, accelerating, turning or anything like that. it sounds like its coming from the front underneath the car and it never did it until I put the Pedders on which was 3 mos after clutch so it aint the clutch. The sound is most reminiscent of metal on metal squeaking.

After searching I saw someone say it could be the end links? Another person suggested that my steering rack may need the spacers?

Has anyone experienced this? How'd you fix it? It's driving me nuts.

I HAVE THIS NOW.
Mine comes from the passenger side, sounds like the wheel well area.

It only started recently and I've been on coil overs for awhile now.
I posted about it in my region thread, and got back that it could be the breaks or end links.

Does your squeak frequency increase when you start picking up speed from a stop where it eventually stops?

I get a squeek too but to me it sounds like its coming from the clutch or something. I will be putting on rack spacers here soon. It started happening after i installed my KY Stage 3 - 6puck as well (and stage 2 rotated mounts)

It just squeaks quickly when I start to move. Doesn't continue.

what did you do with your flywheel?new, resurfaced, reused or what? endlinks arent hard to diagnose pop the wheels off and take a look..... replaced the throw out bearing? is your clutch bled completely? just some things to go over.

Right, but is it just like one squeak or a couple squeaks quickly when you start to move?
Mine also stops when I start to move.

I had my flywheel resurfaced and new TOB. It is probably 4-6quick squeaks then once I get going they go away

yeah im not sure how it is with the ky stuff but ive found other clutch compounds such as the spec stage 3+ to be too aggresive for the stock flywheels.

New stock flywheel, new tob, everything bled properly. It didn't start until Pedders were installed. Can't be coincidence.

get the car on rack with someone under it and you insinuate where it squeek. you should be able to pin point it that way.
