I replaced my rack bushings on 8-2006 because when I turned my wheel the rack would squeak pretty bad. This cleared up the entire problem. Over the past few days I have noticed the squeak again getting progressively worse. Along with turning the wheel and hearing the squeak, I also notice it when driving straight. I can somewhat feel the "strain" when turning the wheel too. Is there a way to lube or oil the polyurethane bushings or should I replace them again? What else should I check for also??

Thanks...Rob

 

Up here in Boston we have been having some seriously horrible weather too. Its been below 30 degrees for the past 2 weeks almost with so much snow/ice, etc... Maybe its the elements that have dried up my whole front end???

 

If that's ball joints get them checked out right away. The beauty of anti sway bar squeeks is it's just an annoying noise. Ball joint squeeks turn into broken joints fast and tire up in fender ain't no fun.

 

Are the ball joints able to be greased in an 03 GT or do I have to replace them? It seems awful early to replace ball joints in a 2003....right??

 

I've not actually been under an 03 GT to be sure but very few cars built in the last 10 years have greasable joints.
