About a half month ago I went camping and drove through a shallow part of a lake. At the deepest part I drove through, it was probably not even wheel height (Stock Size.) It seems ever since then I have had a minor lower pitched squeak when I turn, appearing on and off. I had my axle breathers extended etc., but do you think if I change out my power steering fluid this squeak will go away? Thanks for any help.
 






Sounds more like you got water in a bearing. If the wheels were not completely submerged, then there is little chance it affected the power steering rack. I would jack the front up & start spinning tires & checking for noises there.
