I have a 97 ram 1500 with 32 10.5 15 the last couple days my truck squeaks when I turn the wheel. I just checked the bearings and joint everything seems good and tight no play. does anyone know what this could be please help me thanks.

 

maybe ball joints dry

 

That is kinda what i was thinking and hoping would greasing them be fine or would I be better off just buying new ones seeing as they probably have never been replaced?

 

Grease all your fittings and see if things clear up.Also check the rubber boots on your ball joints and see if they are rotted out.Then you might need to change them.

 

maybe a u joint ran dry and is in need of replacing?

 

grease the crap out of everything. even if the ball joint boots are cracked, smear some grease in there anyway as best you can. any at all is better than nothing. even a spray lube is better than dry.

 

+1 on filling the cracked boots. It'll seep into the joint and the grease will keep new dirt and moisture out. The thicker the better, IMO.

 

I keep up on greasing but ill pack more in if that dont work ill have to pick up a can of chain lube or something and see if that helps. Ill be in touch

 

I have heard squeaking before. But that was serpentine belt squeaking while turning. But you would probably know when it is a belt squeak.

Creaking is more like it.

 

I had the belt replaced last month got something caught on it and took a little chunk out of the belt. I greased everything up really good but it still has a bad squeak. Possible universal joint?
