I have some pretty loud squealing noise from front left and think it'll eventually start on the other side. I squeaks when the wheel is turned in either direction. Also sometimes when I hit a bump.

Does it sound like a bushing or the steering pump belt?

No it was the front end. Since they don't put grease nipples anymore, my buddy showed me a trick to insert a needle into the bushing and inject some grease. It took a full day to stop the noise but it did stop. Don't think I need any parts now...maybe later.

Glad you got it fixed. When you replace the parts, the new ones will be greasable.

Thanks for using 2carpros.com.
