Steering Squeak
 

The '05 GMC Sierra (40,900 miles) has a squeak, mostly noticeable when parking. When I turn all the way to the left something squeaks, when I turn the wheel all the way to the right it sounds more like a tire is squealing. Brand new tires, but the same stuff happened on the old ones. Power Steering reservoir is full. Should I just grease up all the fittings in the front end and see what happens or is this yet another famous problem for these trucks?
Any ideas?

Thanks.

it could be the bearing at the I shaft is worn and needs to be replaced. it`ll do this when the bearings get a flat spot

I can't imagine something like that, the truck only has 41,000 miles. It's just a very slight squeak...but enough to irritate you.

If it only happens when you are turned at the outer locks, then I imagine it is just the usual power steering pump screech when it is under heavy load, like at the extremes of the your wheel turn.

Yeah, just at the outer locks. I'll stop worrying...But whenever I hear it I picture myself in a rusted out '84 Tempo with duct tape brake taillight housings. Well, you get the idea.

Thanks.
