Hi guys,

I noticed an intermittent problem while turning left. There's a squeak that sounds like it's originating from the steering column but outside of the cabin. It only occurs when turning left 90°. Kinda weird to me. Anyone encountered this problem before?

 

Very often it is just low steering fluid level.

 

Get the car up on ramps and look. Could be MANY things. Bushings, linkage, balljoints etc.....

 

Thanks for responding and for the pointers, I'll do some digging over the weekend. The car has just over 50k mi, I wouldn't expect to have a problem with joints, bushings, etc this soon. :/

 

Sounds like mine. Found that the upper driverside strut mount need some some lube. Jacked the car up and sprayed a whole bunch of rubber lube drove the car turning right and left a lot jacked it back up sprayed more.. no more squeek

 

I have a problem sorta like this but mine is more of a creak turning left or right and it only does it when it's cold outside in the morning or when the car has sat in the cold for a few hours. I have no idea what it is though. Nothing seems to be wrong just the sound. It's definitely something with the drivers side suspension I turned the wheel while standing out the door and was coming from something on the front wheel.

 

Yup cold weather does it for me

 

May be asking for alot but do you think you can snap a pic of where exactly you sprayed?... I might as well give this a shot it cant hurt.

 

Mine used to do it in both directions and when the tilt would go up and down the shop lubed the shaft and all is quiet now

 

^ yup lubing the shaft fixes :-)
