Ramithepimp77 Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I think mine is bad too or somethin. When I turn it makes a BIG squeeking noise though. I heard if could be the bushings or whatever I dont know. HAHA dont listen to me Im the newbie still. Could be this... Steering stops keep the front wheels from being turned past a certain point. The steering stops are built with plastic caps. How long would anyone expect those to last? Anyway, they fall off or wear out, and you have metal-to-metal contact between moving parts. The result is when going over bumps, with the steering turned to lock, such as when turning across curbs, you get a nasty sounding and feeling squealing/clunking. The solution is to grease the stops and contact areas, or to replace the plastic caps. There are four of them, two in front of your front wheels and two behind your front wheels. They are easy to find and grease without raising the vehicle. OR... Another source of front end squeals or noises are the front differential crossmember bolts. Over time, the bolts can loosen, allowing the crossmember to shift slightly every now and then, causing noise from the front end...sometimes alarmingly nasty sounding. The fix is to re-torque the crossmember bolts. There are four bolts to re-torque, two on each side of the front crossmember. They are easily accessible from the front of the vehicle without jacking it up. I don't have the exact torque figures on hand, but simply cranking the bolts tight with a 1/2" drive ratchet worked for me. That was in the common problem/fixes thread. Hopfully that helps u out a little. I think i need to do the turn stops on mine actually. GOOD LUCK Rami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrvanas Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Yeah, I'm having the same problem. I re-torqued the connection to the suspension and it took some of the noise away. I think I have to re-grease and re-torque the whole front end. ~jrvanas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeytattoo Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 No I never did figure out whats up with my rig its been sitting in the garage since early sept. my GF got a new Range Rover and I helped her by cosigning and helping with the down payment. So she gave me her other car and now I can rebuild the pathy and be as slow as I need to be with it . plus I relly like the car and thats all Ive wanted to drive lately.But I'm sure the newness will wear off and its back to old reliable.
