Default Tie-rod, ball joints or something else....?

Fast run down. 130000miles on truck 4x4. I drove through a pissload of rain for two days having to hit puddles making big splashs in my wheel well.

I drove about 350miles days right after that. I lot on the highway.

Well now my front end squeaks when I turn my wheel and when I go over bumps. Can I just grease some parts before I start wrenching...Anything that could damage more?

I dont know anything about suspension but I am anxious to learn.

Yeah get under there and look for grease nipples. Sounds like the water pumped what ever grease you had in there out. I would tell you where to grease but I have never owned an IFS vehicle so I couldn't tell you were to look. Chances are if it moves check it out.

i really dont think your gunna find too many of the grease nipples most of the parts arnt greasable thats why when you replace them its nice to go with a greaseable over the oem replacements
