marc_w Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Anyone else have this nasty rubber-on-metal squealing/squirming noise when turning the wheel when you first get in the truck? Its definitely coming from the inside the cab. It sounds like a seal or something rubber is rubbing on the steering shaft. For whatever reason, it only happens when the truck has been sitting for some time. It's similar to two baloons rubbing together, just not THAT annoying. I went nuts with WD40 then some Lithium grease on the seal/bearing on the inside of the fire-wall, but it only quieted the noise - it didn't stop it. I haven't had the time (or daylight) to really dig into it. Anyone find exactly where it's coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 alot easier to just bring it in isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_w Posted November 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 It's harder for me to bring it in... I just don't have the time. I'm a stubborn one who won't visit a dealer unless something's broken under waranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 just got some info on it. it's likely to be the boot at the bottom of the steering column or the bearing for it. they recomend using 12345579 dielectric grease to lube it. supposed to be the fix.

netraider Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Mine makes the same type of noise. The truck is going in soon for some minor issues so I will add that to the list. Thanks zippy! Its always nice to be armed with the answers before you tell them the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_w Posted November 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Thanks guys! Deezel - My last truck had that looseness - This is definitely just a mildly annoying noise for now. *knock on wood*! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bculpepper Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 I have the same problem. Plan on having the dealer look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davechevyss Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 I have anew problem. The door hinge is making noise on drivers side when you close it. Dealer said they lubed it , and fixed it, but it came right back!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
