weird sound from left wheel

when i drive local... there is this metal sound coming from the front left wheel... sounds like something is loose but ive looked at it before and i dont see anything loose... the sound comes when i go over bumps and when im at the end of a stop.. also when i take off. the sound comes and goes... anyone have any idea what might be the problem or where i should start investigating... thanks

well i didnt bring the car to a shop but more of like i brought it to my school (wyotech) and did it myself i had my instructors inspect the shocks n strings and had them make sure it was mounted right and they said it is perfect and i went to install them back in... but after bout 2weeks it started to make a squeaking noise when i turn or take off from a stop or shift
