Suspension Squeek From Hell

[schierholz]

I recently took a 600 mile trip in the cb she did great. but after i made it back she started makeing a squeak noise. So with a kind of choppy video i tried my best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgHFxBmFghw
I figure it has to be between the ball joints and the noise is quiet'er later in the day I just got some new lower ball joints this past summer and wonder if there to blame or the upper's which are just over a year old. I will be getting some new tie rod ends any day now
what next?

Thanks

huh, BJ`s look in good shape.. Are they of name brand? or some eBay sheet?
Should not say eBay shit, eBay is great. Lets say.....China Sheet?

don't know about the quality of ebay it was but i paid closer to 120 for the upper and lower joints and i think there alright the boots are showing wear mabe i tightend the castle nut a bit to much on it but im going to see if its grease and try some engine degreser on them

should be the tie rods.... try putting dw40 on them see if it goes away... then it will need replacement.

Check your tie rod ends and your swaybar end links/bushings.

I've Been having the same issue and it's honestly embarrassing to drive it around like that.

Like mentioned Im going to give it some W40 and see if it helps in the mean time.

Fluid Film is a better product. Cost more, but worth it.

could be rack and pinion going bad and if not then its your lower ball joint trust me I had to replace them to get that loud annoying squeak off.

new update

After a few hours working on the car found out my left side outer tie rod was gone and figured out the squeak is from the bottom ball joint. the car now has a new noise ... when turning at slow speeds with weight on the car the car makes a creaking noise ( like walking up stairs) I ruled out the upper and lower ball joint no play and the tie rod on both sides are good. I replaced the rack and pinion mount 2 years ago with a mog one the sound is from the left side and pretty much between the wheel and the steering collum. I wonder if my rack is trash it does not have air in it and the resivor stays at operating level im just trying to find what I need to fix the 2 problems so i can order them and fix them before i damage something

You can get noise like that from a ball joint even if there is no play in the joint. The grease can squeeze out and water can get in the joint and cause rust which causes the balljoint to start to seize and creak.
