squeeking while turning wheel

[devstar66]

Check your inner and outer tie rods, and ball joints. If the boots around them are torn (or even if they arent) water may have gotten in and displaced the grease which can cause them to squeek and creek, and eventually fail due to wearing excessive clearances.

Lift your car up and have someone turn the wheel back and forth, and listen underneath the car to hear where its coming from. Sometimes they wont squeek unless the car is on the ground, but either way you can check them this way. If the ball joints and tie rods have grease zerks installed, grease them up to see if the squeeking goes away.

If it ends up being a squeeky tie rod or ball joint, and they're sealed ones (no grease zerk fitting), then they will need to be replaced and the front end aligned.

Its most likely your lower ball joints. Mine are doing the same right now. A quick test to see if its possibly your upper ball joints is to grab and try to move the knuckle arm under the front fender above the tire foward and backward. If it moves you need to replace the upper ball joint. If not, look at the lower joints and tie rod ends. If you end up needing to replace the lower ball joints get them from honda. They are pretty much the same price as the ones at auto part stores and will last much longer.

Im Have'n the same problem.....And I replaced all the parts listed above....Just can't tell whats lose or make'n noise

I had this same problem and it turns out the boot on my lower driverside balljoint had a pin hole and all the grease was gone, if it turns out to be that problem just regrease it untill u can buy yourself a new balljoin

i am having the exact same problem my mechanic replaced the front passenger side ball joints because that's where it seemed most of the squeek was coming from and my brother's cb7 does the same thing but he hasn't had any work done on it. mine is by far more squeeky than his though, and i'm losing my mind trying trouble shoot this so if anyone can gimme more tips like this i will feed them to my mechanic in hopes of a squeeky free cb!

be sure and check the power steering fluid level as well. it makes a crazy squeaky, whine noise when it gets low. later.

Are you sure its only when u make turns or is it all the time and u can only hear it well on turns. if so then it could be your wheel bearings cause that is whats happening to me but i can hear it all the time.

primarily on right turns there's tons of squeek, otherwise at standstill no, there aren't any squeeks. my power steering fluid is topped to the tip top, and when i have the hood open and am moving the wheel it sounds like it's coming from the passenger side wheel.

ok so to make sure im on the same page, the checklist is:
-wheelbearings
-balljoints
-cv boots

@EJX Michael: du by any chance have a pic i could use to guide me as to where you are mentioning i can troubleshoot? i'm automotively dislexic so i could use as much help as i can get.

Best tip i think and how i learned is remember how things came off and how they go back on. if you arn't sure about something don't take the risk.
