[Shotimes] Squeaky Steering

[Paul Novak]

Erik,

	The steering squeak appears to be coming from both sides of the
car.  It sounds like it's coming from the rack and pinion steering, but
it could be the tie rod ends.  I think I'll put it up on jacks and see
if I can isolate the exact location.

I had a problem a while back with a slight squeak from the left front
wheel
area.  It only happened while turning the wheel left and right under
certain
degrees of turning.  Turned out to be a bad left front tie rod end.  The
original tie rod ends are not greasable and it looks like the grease ran
out
of the old one and the bushings were starting to squeak.  Is your squeak
only on one side or on both?
