Post Beginner DIY - Squeaky steering 2002/1500/4.7L

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!

Sounds like your front U-joints then. They will pop like that when you make a sharp turn.

I am afraid it is fairly normal. But you should get them check out ASAP.

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!
