donny25 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 My 98 gs400 just started squeeking like crazy. Only at very low speeds like when going through parking lots and such. It does it every time i turn the wheel and i'm slowing down to stop. I checked my power steering fluid and It was full. Does anyone have an Idea of whats going on??????????

If so then DCfish's suggestion should help.If not then it may be the power steering pump bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to drop It off at the dealer this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
