    Can somebody help me with this damn problem my front end is squeaking on the drivers side, I've had so many opinions on this problem but I ain't sure. I've changed bushings,struts,lubed up boots but nothing. If you have this problem and now how to fix it let me know asap..

    Sway bar bushings are known to dry out and squeak. Another possible cause is the tie rod ends. The way to check for this is to hold onto the tie rod end with your hand and have someone you trust rock the steering wheel back and forth (with engine running). If it is the tie rod end, you will feel it in your hand. Modern cars have tie rod ends that are not lubed, and thus need replacement as there is no way to lube them.

    Well I did find out my tie rod ends have seen better days so I know those have to be replaced. I got under the car and made my bro move the car up and down 2 see if I can pin point the noise and it came from the rack and pinion , don't actually know if its comming from the inside of it or from the bushing ckuz the bushing is falling apart...

    But yea ill see if I can upload a video 2morw so you could hear he noise .
