Help with a squeak

[Jacoby]

Only happens when I crank the wheel left and when I’m parked. It’s not ball joints or any suspension pieces. Steering rack maybe?  I can feel it through the steering wheel and can feel a grinding feeling.  I’ve seen some past threads where guys get a squeak and they grease something in the steering column and it goes away. My issue seems different though then those examples I saw.

Did you ever figure out what was squeaking? My 18 started doing this yesterday.

No not yet.  I got a new job and have been super busy with that.  Its gotta be the steering rack.  The noise is up behind my skid plates and I just haven't gotten under it and removed everything to isolate the squeak.  Plus its been hot as hell here in TX so that hasn't helped.  May try to work on it this weekend.  Im hoping its something I can lube and be on my way.  With my lift I doubt Id get a new rack under warranty

Ball joints are the systems that keep the different mobile pieces of machines working easily. Attributable to their basic job and area, they are inclined to rubbing and different components of mileage. They, along these lines, break down quicker than most different segments of the cars.

just had a truck into today that had a lift kit and 35 in tires. he had a squeak noise while turning with the suspension flexing. the upper control arm /bushing were making the noise. 

 

when you go and do this to your truck it can cause noises from the suspension due to changing the geometry angles of the truck. you can start by tightening everything see if it goes away, see if your control arms/balls joints are good. 

 

and if it is the steering gear they will not cover it ( most likely ) due to the mods. but the bumper to bumper is only 3 yr ( 36k)
