Question What do I do?

My problem is that when I turn my (97'Expedition) steering wheel it makes A annoying squeeking sound. I hate it, its kind of embarrising. I heard from a friend that this happens to a lot of Fords. I also heard that there is a oil or a grease of some type that could be injected into the steering boot to solve this problem. Is this true? And what type of lubricant, oil, or grease I should use? How do I apply it? please help...Thanks.

Judah,

It sounds like it could be either the serpentine belt or the power steering pump. Have you checked the fluid level in the power steering pump. I would check the level.

The pitman arm squeaks in these things because you can't lube them.

It's a common problem.

Do a search on pitman arms---Bob.
