I have a irritating squeak at slow speed under the dash on the drivers side. Some times I think it is around the stearing post and it does not seem to squeak when you are going straight or your speed is up but a very slight turn makes it squeak. I have a 2001 Dodge 2500 Diesel. Any help would be helpful. It is driving me crazy.

 

If your truck is an auto. - when at low speed try shifting into 2nd . I had a similar squeak which turned out to be the tranny shifter linkage. If shifting or moving the shifter works - lube all parts of the linkage to tranny. Dont know which part was squeaking because I lubed the whole thing at once....

 

Thanks I'll try that. It is auto. tran.

 

It is most likely the shaft that mounts to the body and trans (connects the column & valve body linkage together). Lube both end bushings well and the squeak should stop.

 

Thanks for the advise to fix my squeak it worked.

 

thank god some one has a clue what it is i had a gasser with the same squeek and now a ctd with the same. given it a try wish me luck

 

waaaaaaaaaaaaahoooooooooooooooooooo ding dong the squeek is gone the squeek is gone the squeek is gone the evil squeek is gone. iwould like to thank all the people that made this posable MADOCO U R THE MAN, wd40 (untill i get greese), o and last but not least ME for climbing down there and braving the rust flakes even when it seemed as if all was lost i hung in there and distroyed it.

thanks madoco

ps. I think i laid eggs in the leaf springs before it left

 

I have the same truck and had the same problem. It wouldn't make any noise if I was going straight but at slow speeds like an on or off ramp from freeway it would squeek. Dealer relpaced the steering shaft and the problem went away. Though it was still under warranty.
