SQUEEEEEEEEEKy Steering...

[FriedRiceBob]

basically, almost any time i am steering (actively moving the wheel) at low speeds i get a SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK. I have the sho-shop UDP set...
so, what does this spell for me...hopefully not a big repair bill. do i just need to **** it up?

if does it when your setting still have someone turn the wheel and listen real close to the bearing plates(top of the front struts). if this isn't it its probably the lower ball joints binding.

Tie rod ends?? They are known for squeeking. If so, you can remove the tie rod end from the spindle, pry the rubber boot off and add some grease. a few drops of oil helps too. Can do the same with the ball joints, but it's more difficult.
