Hi Everyone.
I just returned from an incredible trip up a deactivated logging road in the Chilcotin to an elevation of 6100ft.
My challenge is this...I noticed a squealing sound from the front end when turning the front wheels, even at idle.
Anyone have an idea of what this may be?
Cheers,
Joe

Re: Squealing steering
Couple of things.
1. power steering pump low fluid and/or belt loose
2. worn suspension components (check sway bar bushings / ball joints / tie rods ,etc...)

Re: Squealing steering
Checked fluid; it is good and there does not appear to be any play with the suspension.
Could someone tell me where the power steering pump is located and/or send me a pic
so that I may check the belt tension?
Thanks everyone,
Joe
