Hi Guys!
My 1998 4Runner Limited 4x4 make a squeak sound when turning steering wheel left or right. Its really sounds like "something" is overthight. Just did my inner and out rod, lower and upper balljoints and rack bushings. My last try was to spray some silicon on rack bushing because (I thought maybe "ver-dry"?). If I lift my runner on a jackstand and turn the steering whel both sides then there is no noise. Also the alignmentt has done already including new tires.

If it helps on something I weld 2 tacks on slipjoint because of a freeplay following this thread http://www.ttora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=161689

IOm surte this slipjoint job has nothing to do with the squeak sound since the steering wheel still nice and soft to both sides.

This runner is for normal use on road and sometimes just tow my 19 footer boat. Hope yopu guys show me some light to resolve this annoying sound.

THANKS!

This might sound dumb but have you checked your power steering fluid(AT fluid)?

 

Ok, this mystery has been SOLVED!

Squeaky sounds comes from Lower and Upper Control Arms Bushings!!!n Problem fixed.
