sqeaking or clunking or creaking? if its a SQEAK i had the same kind of noise...it was coming from the steering column itself....simple lube job fixed that....i would try to verify the exact location of the noise before you throw a hundred some bucks + an alignment (unless you mark the tie rods) + labor

So if anyone knows where I could find the tube brackets for a 99 I would really appreciate it.
I just picked up new ones from a buddy that works at ford... I recommend everyone get one!
Part number: E5DZ 3K620 A

It's definitely coming from the rack and pinion, and it sounds similar to an old door hinge making a squeaking/creaking noise. I must admit I'm a bit confused though. Why would it cost hundreds of dollars to do? It seems like everyone was saying it can either be done for free by cutting them down or for not much more just by replacing them.
