Squeaking noise when I turn the steering wheel to the left...
 
I hear this noise in the front left wheel when I turn (slightly or alot) to the left while driving....any ideas???? there are no leaks found

we need a little more info than i hear a noise. what kind of noise? is it causing a problem? if not get a ear plug for the left ear.

jgoard15 03-28-2010 02:16 PM

yeah ok...well I hear the noise driving down the road, when making a left turn...it sounds like a high pitch squeak. Nothing is affected I just have never had that noise again...I was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen

Is it like a creak when turning the steering wheel? How old is the vehicle? It could possibly be an outer tie rod end, when the grease evacuates and they get dry they will squeek when you turn the wheel.

Never mind how old it is, I just saw your sig. Being so new it probably isn't a tie rod end but stranger things have happened.

jgoard15 03-28-2010 02:48 PM

its like a rolling squeak...if that makes sense...when I just turn to the left. Also when I apply the brakes turn left it does not do it....

I had a jam nut that wasnt tightened down correctly that was squeaking exactly like you are saying. Might check them.

What and where is the Jam nut...thanks!!!

Sorry just read your signiture, it looks like you are stock. Jam nuts are used on lift kits. The are the locking nut for adjustable control arms. But like I said if you are stock then you wont have these.
