Weird Squeak When Turning Wheel

[NewEdgeGT2002]

Weird issue... So only when its humid after iv been driving for a while and park the car and come back back after a short break when I turn the wheel it makes a squeaking noise. Not a belt its clearly in the suspension and im thinking strut mounts but curious if anyone ever came across this before.

If it squeaks sitting still, it could be strut mounts or ball joints. Most of the time it’ll be ball joints making the noise.

oh yeah good call. There are no play in them i could tell you.

Also consider the steering rack bolt sleeves or whatever they’re called. My 02 had that issue.

my first guess would bet the ball joint but we also have no idea what your suspension set up is.

bone stock... its just super weird and nearly impossible to trouble shoot. Because you literally have to drive it for about 40 mins on a humid day, park it for 20 mins then come back. so weird and no play in anything.

lift the front end off the ground and grab the bottom of the wheel and push/pull

Mine turned out to be a tie rod end bushing.

Get underneath and start by lubing the most suspect part.
I would say just grab some blaster and hit everything that moves, but then when the squeak went away, you still wouldn't know from whence it came.
