1997 f150 squeak
My 1997 4x4 ext cab 4.6 f150 has a really annoying squeak when you turn the steering wheel at a slow speed or at a stop, like when ur trying to park or in the drive through line, what i wondered is what is the cause of this? is it my upper and lower ball joints? or my tie rod ends or what? any help would be appreciated. also i want to know if i need to fix it immediately or what. thanx

Mine makes a similar noise.
My noise is low pitched, almost like a moan.
I think that it's steering column bearings, and the guy I bought it from said it's done it for as long as he can remember.
I'm not going to worry about it since there seems to be no binding and I only hear it when making large turns of the wheel, like when parking...
I don't know if the column bearings are accessible and/or able to be lubed.
I imagine the pulling the column would be a real mother, so unless it starts binding I'm not going to worry about it....
