Please get your car checked. You may have bent the Tie rods or the control arm and the Ball joint is making the Squeaking noise. Sway bar end links and Strut bearing will also make noise going over bumps.

SOURCE: My steering column is make loud squeking noises.

The rubber "boot" at the firewall is chafing on the steering shaft. Spray shaft with silicone lube, then turn the steering wheel back & forth to work lube in. May require occasional re application.

SOURCE: loud noise when i hit bumps and turn the sterling

chances are that noise is the ball joints telling you they are dry and have no grease and they should be replaces fairly soon

There are several possibilities that could be causing your problem.

  • Low on power steering fluid
  • Bad steering box
  • Bad tie rod end
  • Bad ball joints
Assuming the power steering fluid is full, bring the car to any brake shop or repair shop that does front end alignments to diagnose the problem further. I hope you find this points you in the right direction. Thank you for using Fixya! Greg

Why does my steering wheel make creeking noise when i turn it on my Truck dodge dakoda laramie 2007

chances are the ball joints are bad. This will cause a squeak when turning or up and down motion from bumps. To locate remove tire and look on top of or below A arm suspension area for an upper and lower ball joint. this is what attaches the brake drum/wheel hub to the truck.

I need help with my 1994 pontaic grand am. I just bought the car and it has a terrible clunking noise in the front mostly when I turn the wheel. What could this be? Could it be tie rod, cv joints,shocks or...

Jack up the wheel and see if it has play up and down and left and right. Have someone watch inboard as you move it. A bad cluck will usually show itself.

Loud squeek when hitting a bump and especiaLLY WHEN TURNING the steering wheel. when breaking car pulls to the left.

You may have bad lower ball joints.This a very common problem with theses cars .There is no way to grease them so the start to bind up after a while .If the squeak is there while turning the wheel and sitting still while doing this then suspect lower ball joints .

Loud squeaking noise from front end wheel or axle area.

It can be from both the struts and any piece of frame or body that has a rubber mount.(most likely struts and A arms making the noise)

Suspension and steerin wheel

It is difficult to just assess wut is causing the suspension knock. U will have to go under the vehicle or let someone who is experience about this do it. Go under the vehicle and check the entire suspension system, steering ends, rack ends, ball joionts, rubber bushings etc. Well u said u have changed ur shocks but no difference. As for the squeaks, this might be coiming from the universal joint from the steering column. Like I said they really have to be inspected.
