Squeezing noise turning left.

Hi everyone. 2021 Wrangler Runi that is making a squeaking noise when I turn left. Even with the car off if I giggle the steering wheel to the left it makes the noise. Thoughts? Thank you.

How many aftermarket parts do you have on your front suspension?

Good question. I had death wobble so most everything is aftermarket. Shocks and springs still stock.

Add grease.

If it does it with the Jeep off, I’d look at front end components, not the power steering.
Common culprits are track bar bushings, ball joints, or the drag link/tie rod ends. Sometimes even the steering shaft at the firewall will squeak.
Have someone turn the wheel while you watch underneath and you’ll usually spot it quick.

Squeezing noises and giggling…sounds like something different is happening there.

Here’s is a good video by @Tech Tim from @Northridge4x4
