Default Squeek when I turn wheel / hit bumps

When I turn my steering wheel or hit bumps I can hear a squeek like as if something isnt oiled any clue what I should do? Its continuous when I just turn the wheel and im not even moving... any ideas?

tie rod ends need grease,
factory tie rods cant be greased,
drill and thread for grease zirks or
buy after market tie rod ends.

yeah briliant ford never used grease fittings. had the same problem with my 94 sixer. sold it before i got it fixed. but most likely it is your tie rod ends. i would replace inner and outer tie rod ends on both sides. not saying all of them went bad but its a good idea. aftermarket ones have a fitting for grease.

You sure it isn't the power steering pump? If it's low on fluid it'll squeal like a son of a gun every time you turn the wheel.

Mine always made the same noice. If i push on the fender it will make a squeek noice. If i just turn the wheel, it will make the same noise. Sounds like a squeeky mattress. Anyway, while i was putting in drop springs, i was looking for whatever the noise was. For those of you who guessed TIE ROD ENDS, your correct!! It was my passenger side. Havent got it replaced yet though. I will get both of them replaced when i do it.... And im sure that your problem is the same as mine. Good luck....

The tie rod ends are around 60.00 to purchase, 60 to install. That is the last quote i heard around here. It might be high or low, not sure. Just called one place and will be calling around still. Can also try the drilling and threading a grease nozzle method. I wouldnt think it would hurt.....i might try this still, not sure
