I just bought a used jimmy. I have noticed that when I make a turn that causes the vehicle to lean to the driver side, there is a loud squeaking sound coming from somewhere around the wheel area. This noise is loud and obnoxious. Could the axles need to be greased?

Hi.

This should be inspected by a qualified technition, without being able to see it, there are just too many things it could be to guess.

I have seen the bearing hub go out and cause this problem, raise the front of the car and spin the front wheel you will hear the noise.
