I just Changed my steering GEAR BOX.
Part=$260 at AutoZone
I Changed the STEERING VIBRATION DAMPENER.
Part=$39 at PepBoys
Changed 1 Ball Joint BOOT.
Part=$5 at Pep Boy's HELP section.
 
Thats about $304 + tax in parts (guaranteed), Labor is not more than 3 hours.
Labor is about $45 an hour (No tax)....Thats about $480....
if were adding things while your already in there...
Center Link-Part=$36
Tie Rod w/ End - Part=$30
 
You get the idea. This shouldn't cost over $650
for everything... I say $800 and your getting WAY
RIPPED OFF for replacing everything infront of the Steering Wheel Shaft, and to the Tires.
 
OH, the creaking is probably the whole set of 4 springs that support the Vehicle... Mine squeek. If your Steering is GROWLING when you try to turn the steering wheel; WELL, then, its your power steering gear box....Ever done one of those?

I had the steering gear box rebuilt on Groesbeck in Michigan. $300 installed. The powr steering box new installed by me. $can't remember. Every mechanic I talk to say "everythings tight". ????
I wonder why is the steering wheel going all over-hell. I'm still searching for the answer??? I don't want to spend money on nothing.

Mike,
Same problem. I have googled dozens of people with this squeak, but have never found a solution posted. Mine is not the clock spring, and not the firewall boot. I have lubed all the accessible fittings. Sounds and feels like it's somewhere between the steering wheel and the firewall, but where? Has anyone ever found how to fix this?

Hi
Was wondering of someone could help me. Took car to mechanic and he said the steering doesnt pull back itself after you have turned. I have noticed every so often it screatches, any ideas?
thanks

94 grand cherokee shutters when turning after warm by 22munchman

I have a 94 grand cherokee quadro-trac( all time 4Hi ) after driving at highway speeds for a while ( 20 miles+ ) and returning to driving in town, turning left and right somewhat sharp, the front end shutters not wanting to turn. It acts like a slipping clutch? does anyone have ideas on what could cause this?
