2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Squeak during right hand turns

[Bob W]

Over the past few days, I've noticed a squeak when I make a right turn. It seems like it's coming from the right front tire. Anyone else ever have this happen? Thanks for any help.

Could be..

your right side caliper dragging a little, but I had the same noise and it was only the shift linkage. Dealer lubed it with lithium grease and it's gone.

Mine had a squeak when turning right and finally got where it would squeak when turning either way. I read on this forum about this type of squeak was coming from the steering linkage under the hood where the two shafts come together. I could not believe that the squeak was coming from there BUT, I did what I was told and sprayed some white grease on the linkage and the squeak has been gone for over 3 months now. They knew what they were talking about. GREAT place and knowledge people, THANKS.

I've had the same squeek, turning both left and right. Somebody suggested to do the white grease thing on the linkage but I haven't tried it yet. Since it worked on rono's truck, I guess I'll give it a try.

Thanks guys. I'm off to the Eastern States Expo today; I'll try the grease suggestion tomorrow.
