squeaking when turning

[pete315]

my 93 ATX squeaks when I turn the wheel. I mainly hear it when I'm going real slow. is there something I can grease in the front end to stop this squeak? it sounds like some bushing needs some grease.

are you sure it's not your belt???

I'm sure it's not the belt. it's something in the front end, like something needs grease. are there any grease fittings on these front ends?

If it sounds like rubber on metal... then it probaby is... Visiti SHONut.com to look over the recommendations on front upper strut mount bearings.

I don't know how familiar with the parts of the front end, but look for a pair of these on your swaybar. IIRC, the OEM bar doesn't have the fittings, but if you bought the car "certified pre-modified," you may have them.
If the stock bushing has a threaded hole in the top, you may be able to screw a little grease fitting in there. If not, you can replace the whole bushing (go to SHO NUT )
I have Energy bushings on mine, and to get a 90 degree fitting on there, I have to drop the back end of the subframe. I think I could get a 45 on there without a problem.
Of course, the noise might not be from the sway bar, in which case, disregard this entire post.
