I have a '97 that creaks when you turn the wheels. I got the grease gun out and the needle. I hit every place I could see. I even sprayed everything with liquid wrench silicone. It still makes noise. What the heck can it be?

 

Ball joints

 

Steering linkage, - could be anything. Just have someone turn the wheel while you pin point. Eazzy peazzy.

 

20 year old truck...could be just about any of the above. You could buy all new parts w/ poly bushes and that could make the groaning even louder...


My 85' FS Blazer went from clunky to really squeaky.

 

I put poly bushings on my Mustang, and they were so annoying. I took them right back off.

I hear the graphite impregnated poly's are a lot better then regular poly's.

 

I thought about putting new bushings on it. I may loosen up what I can and grease it.

 

If you still have factory ball joints and tie rod ends, they don't have zerk fittings. You can use a needle greaser, and go through the rubber though

 

I bought a needle and greased everything. Time to take things apart.

 

That was fast.

 

Haha I did that yesterday.
