Help! Squeaking sound coming from front end when I steer the car at slow speeds?

brujones · 08-17-2006

hi everyone!
I have a 95 gt and there is a squeaking sound coming from the front end when I steer the car at slow speeds (less than 10mph). I have greased the upper strut mounts and replaced them also. I just put in new rack bushings and it didnt help. I use this car for parades and it gets pretty embarrasing at times on slow turns.
HELP!!!!

you too. know i don't feel so alone. what is that. It's was'nt the struts, or spring isolators.I've just got new FMS control arms but haven't bolted them on yet. I heard that didn't work for someone else though. Dammit it sucks

I can move the steering wheel back and forth while sitting still and hear it, I think its the tie rods.

Greasing the bushings with lithium grease can help. Your control arm bushings may be worn out already. I also suspect that may be the front CV joint or ball joint.

My squeaking stopped a few weeks after the new rack bushings were installed so my problem is fixed!

Where are the rack bushings located exactly? Can a normal person replace them yourself without Compressed-Air tools?

I went to a bone yard. I replaced the lower control arm and mine hsn't done it since. Now my explorer is doing it but I think it's the power steering rack
