Need A Diagnosis Doctors

alrite the iroc (90' 5.7l if it makes any difference) has been making alot of fun noises lately and i was just looking to get a few opinions from some people who know what there talking about ive recently had the center link and inner tie rods replaced along with a full alignment
i regularly grease the zerks on every oil change

now heres the problem at parking lot speeds i notice a lot of groanin and low pitch squeaking along with som vibration of the steering wheel and floorboard when im turning the steering has very little play and it is perfectly aligned so my guess its some worn bushings or bearings but i dunno

any opinions? thanks for the help

Just glancing at your post, I am not going to read it. At least try to punctuate next time ....Please.

I am not the best either, but at least I make an effort so others can read it.

well, i'd try to punctuate a bit better, makes it easier to read and understand, plus dean is pretty much the guru of suspension on here.


i'd grease the wheels bearings, and check your balljoints.

i replaced everything in my front end suspension, and all the groans squeeks and such are gone.

thats centerlink, idler arm, inner and outer tie rods, and balljoints


also look into getting a wonderbar, helps alot

I would check your power steering belt for tension and cracks, and then the fluid.
Lots of cars with power often groan at full lock, and it doesnt always mean a real problem. Its worse with steering boxes than rack and pinion usually though.
Check the belts not frayed, your steering oil is clean, and check the mountings\frame where the steering gear fits and make sure nothings loose cracked or broken.

How about sub frame connectors, do you have them? If not then they could help with some of the groaning and creaking.
