Steering Squeak
Hello,
I noticed a squeak on my '05 when turning the wheel within about 20 degrees from the center after I sprayed into the wheel wells with water. The last time I drove it in the rain has made the noise significantly worse (shown in video) and the noise remains when it's dry.
Tie rod ends, sway bar bushings, and sway bar links have all recently been replaced. It's difficult to pinpoint the exact position of the noise, but it sounds like it's coming from the middle or right side of the car and it's definitely underneath the front end.
Anyone have an idea what might be causing this? Thanks.
