Is everything greased up?

 

[EliteConcept]

what parts do you speak of?

 

[RiverRat]

The ball joints if they have fittings, tie rods, etc. Anything with a zerk fitting. Check the suspension bushings too. I'm not saying this is your problem but start with the simple stuff first.

Could be where the steering shaft goes thru the firewall.

Other than that I don't know, you could jack the front end up and get some one to steer back and forth to see if you can find it...

I was hearing the same thing in my 93. It is definitely in the steering wheel. I know exactly what sound you are talking about. Unfortunately mine was so intermitant that I left it alone. My thoughts were that there is a loose bolt in steering column. Its definitely not steering gear box or power steering pump. The way mine sounded I ruled out the little u-joint connection as well. It was almost as if the steering wheel itself was squeeking between the shaft and wheel. I was going to see if I could pull the wheel off like old trucks and grease it. Just my thoughts.
