Default Squeeky turns...Help!

I have a 2000 GT Stang and whenever I make a rolling left turn (meaning I don't come to a complete stop) I hear a squeeking noise. It almost sounds like something needs to be oiled. I have had it in the dealership twice this week. I had my power steering pump replaced and my front tie rod ends replaced and it's STILL making the sound. Does anyone know what it is or have any suggestions? It's driving me NUTS!!!

I had the same problem. The dealership replaced some of the bushings in the front end. I'm not sure which ones. But it did fix the problem....

Do you know how much that will cost to replace? Is your car a 2000 too or is this just typical maintenance? Thanks!

Mine is an 04. It was done as warranty work. You can buy good bushings at almost any mustang supply outlet. They aren't hard to put on. If mine would not have been covered under warranty, I would have upgraded to some much better quality aftermarket ones.

sounds like your sway bar bushings...... get some oil and quirt it up into the sway bar bushings and then go for a drive and see if disappears

I have the car at the dealership now and they called and said they oiled the sway bar bushings and the squeek is still there. They think it's the rear differential (oh joy). I'm assuming this will be pricey since they have to take apart gears, etc. Has anyone had this problem? If so, if I don't fix it will it cause further damage?

Thanks!
