I think something is wrong...
So i have been driving for the last few days, well maybe a week or two and i have noticed that as i turn the wheels to turn a corner there is a creaking sound towards the right front part of my truck. If i turn the wheels at all it makes the sound and it keeps going until i straighten out the wheels? anyone know wat could be happening? My friend suggested power steering fluid but its full and everything under my truck looks kosher. IDK whats wrong?

Not sure what to tell you on grease type. I use a synthetic but I can't remember the brand, etc. It's been in my greasegun for a while.
I should have worded my post a little differently. I should have said anything that moves can squeak.AZS10Crew wrote:Maybe tie rod ends or idler arms also.
In my case it was the bottom ball joints. Apparently the previous owner thought the replacements never needed grease. Never mind that they had fittings for it!
My Blazer will do that if its dirty and cold outside. It is the swing arm bushings in my case. I won,t spend the $$$ to fix it because I want to trade it in soon.

I have gotten creaking groaning noises from all 3 of my s-10/blazers in cold weather(below 0) In cold weather I think the factory rubber bushings harden and cause the noise. It usually stops after a few miles once they warmed up.

I use PB BLASTER It gets into places products like WD 40 can't. Most auto parts stores around here carry it.

PB Blaster is awesome stuff for removing rust, etc. Works 100 times better than WD40!BADs Crew wrote:I use PB BLASTER It gets into places products like WD 40 can't. Most auto parts stores around here carry it.
