check your power steering fluid make sure its got some. Could be the p/s pump too.

 

same damn thing



hey 99svtcorbra, I've got the same illness with my 05. Any luck with it?

 

lube the bushing,and check for any grease fittings,check ball joints also.

 

powersteering



interesting enough, Mine has nothing to do with powersteering. I shut the car off and turned the wheel back and forth and I still get a creaking sound...And it has nothing to do with the weather. Only thing I can say is, There's no noise at all when I start driving. It only squeaks after I've been driving for a few miles or minutes. It also sounds like it's coming from where ever the axle and shaft meet...not anywhere inside the column in the cab. It's annoying because my car is in flawless condition with 33k for miles so It eats me up.

 

eh i dont think any grease fitting or ball joint would cause that ..sounds like it COULD be that bushing ...even if its not...start with the small ones first right?

 

i got the same problem im 2k GT.. i think its the steering wheel fluid, because my car kind of feels heavy compared to my 5.0.. let me know if you find out what the problem is, it would be helpful.

 

either ur low on power steering fluid or the pump is gone. same problem in my eclipse and 1st i was just low on fluid, and then later the pump went out. same symptoms

 

just drive in a straight line

problem solved

 

+1, sounds like your car would be a good straight shooter then huh? jp, my 01 gt has been squeekin for a while, let us know if you get her fixed cause i hate hearin my front end make them noises... its embarrasing haha

 

I vote bushings.

 

well my car used to do it till i found a fittin that needed grease

 

holy 2007 thread batman

 

Better than starting a new thread?

 

my car does that when the wheel is turned all the way and im going into a parking spot it squeaks a little bit.

 

yea same problem with mine haha and it is embarrasing everybody staring at your nice car then then you turn the wheel and it starts squeaking lol.

 

at least he searched. that's why he got this old thread

 

^ yeah everybody says something about how old the thread is...well they used the search button like they are supposed to, anways ive had the same problem in my mustang and its the ball joints, inside the joint its metal on metal and no grease fittings for factory ones, either spray wd40 to get rid of the noise or replace ball joints and put alittle grease on them and then use the grease fitting for the rest of the squeek noises that come about

 

the creaking noise comes from the steering rack moving side to side about an 1/8 of an inch. there is a TSB ford put out for it but you can fix it your self in about 20 min. pull the 2 bolts out holding the steering rack to the kmember. pop off the front bushing and pull the long tubes out. grind off about 1/8th of material from each one and reinstall them. tq to 52ft/lbs. here is a link with more detail and pictures

I'm going to go with p/s pump or low fluid.
