Squeaky Steering

Yeah, typo in the title --- Squeaky Steering issue.

I hear lots of squeaks underneath the runner when I turn the steering wheel.

This just means the steering rack bushings need some grease, right? I've got the energy suspension polyurethane bushings. I have no other steering issues.

Also, any recommendations on which grease to use and maybe the proper way to go about about silencing them?

Kinda depends on the squeak. Could be the belts for the powersteering pump. Could be the Pump itself. Could be... Could be... Could be...

It is too hard to diagnose on the interweb.

Get a grease gun and hit all the greasable stuff, check the belts, and looks for wear marks where metal on metal contact could have been made with steering componets.
