Angry Pitman arm?

I have a nasty squeek when I turn the wheel at slow speed. From looking at other posts, this is likely the pitman arm? How much does it cost to fix? If it is simple, how much does the part usually run? ANy help would be great!!!!!!

Mine squeeked to for a long time. dealer told me it was worn and needed to be replaced. If I remember correctly it wasn't to expensive, like between $30 an $60 bucks Canadian. Didn't bother to replace it and one day it stopped squeeking and hasn't made a noise since. Go figure.

On my truck, it was the pitman arm making the terrible squeek - What I did to stop it was I bought a grease gun with a needle attachment, stuck the needle in the rubber boots and kept putting grease in it until it shot out - no more terrible squeek

Mine was doing the same thing so this weekend I shot some grease into it right thru the boot.......matter of fact I did it to all of the boots. The squeaking has stopped.
