I know there must be a lot written about it, but my searching ability must be lacking as I'm not finding posts on point.
Noticed just the other day. when turning the steering wheel at low speed or even at a stand still, I get a creaking akin to a rusty hinge on a barn door.
I suspect the ball joints or tie rod ends. I looked at them and of course there are no grease zerts on them. physical manipulation doesn't detect any play in them. boots are in good shape, but not plump as if filled with grease.
Has anyone used a needle to inject grease into the joints through the boots?
any other suspect?
do the cheap Amazon and ebay ball joint presses remove these ball joints?
advice appreciated.
