Beginner DIY - Squeaky steering 2002/1500/4.7Lmjtdodge 03-24-2005, 01:15 PM I've just recently noticed when hitting the drivethru that I hear my steering sqeak when turning the wheel. Checked the power steering level and it was okay. I have 75,000 miles and besides brakes and oil changes, I haven't had any other problems. Any suggestions would be great! Austin8214 03-24-2005, 02:23 PM is your truck a 4X4? mjtdodge 03-24-2005, 02:43 PM is your truck a 4X4? Yes Austin8214 03-24-2005, 03:24 PM Sounds like your front U-joints then. They will pop like that when you make a sharp turn. eastcoastdriver 03-28-2005, 09:09 PM is that normal on 4x4s cause my 99 does that too Austin8214 03-29-2005, 03:34 PM I am afraid it is fairly normal. But you should get them check out ASAP. HemiGottaLuvIt 04-16-2005, 11:11 AM When was the last time you lubed your suspension? My 98 Ram groans and moans too upon steering when the zirc-fitted joints are do for a grease change. The interval for lubes is 6-months or 12-miles give-or-take. I'm going by memory so please someone feel free to correct me. Anywho, after I lube my truck - BAM; groans are gone and steering is OEM stock smooth. I'm getting into the habit of doing a lube-job everytime I change my oil. It's quick, easy and beats the steering/suspension groans! vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
