when i turn the wheel to the left i get a screeching type noise, Only at one specific spot when turning. and its only to the left. ball joints Are new so is the rest of the steering components. boots are all cracked and I'm Assuming the links are bad. thought all the new components made the ends wear out. just looking for opinions before i go buy new end links

 

sounds like a wheel bearing to me. end links cant really cause a screech. and if they are bad it would affect your "handling" like the truck wanting to roll over in a curve more than normal

 

i would agree but wheel bearing is a month old moog...

 

doesnt matter. check it out. how old is the right one?

if you must check the end link. you could simply disconnect them and see if the noise changes before dropping cash on them.

 

both replaced same time. i didn't think of a check that simple... i really thought it was coming from around the drag link. very hard to pinpoint the noise though. definitely driver side though. I'm going to try greasing all the joints tomorrow although they're all new. i don't think it's the wheel bearing cause it's more noticeable closer to the center of the truck, but still the left side if you catch my drift lol would it be possible for the steering box to screech like that? no vibrations in the steering wheel but there's slop to the left side

 

If you have side to side slop in the steering box, its shot and needs to be replaced. It would be a good idea to replace the sway bar end links, they go bad from normal wear.
When I got my truck the sway bar end links were beyond bad, so I had them replaced.

 

well think i fixed the sound by greasing all the ball joints, didn't get a chance to road test it yet. but sitting no noise anymore. steering box has been on my to do list, just haven't got the money for it
