Front End Squels

On my '96Z, after it warms up, it seems to me as if the front end squeals when I go around corners. At slow or high sppeds. I'vs seen in the repair manual that it doesn't have grease fittings. It says it has plugs, and if you want to be able to grease it, you must install some zerk fittings. Whats wrong w/ my car and is there a cheap/easy way to lube the front end?

mine does the same thing...does it seem to not be as bad if you are applying the brake? My squeals when I am turning but when I turn with the brake on it doesn't.... I would love to get it taken care of too!!

I am having the same problem. Its really noticeable and annoying while turning at slow speeds (usually parking). Can anyone shed some light upon this?

Check up on your brake pads and see if they're worn/dirty. And make sure it's from the front too. All of the Camaro's that my friend's and I drive have the same problem. All spawning from A sticking brake caliper.. I took all mine apart and re-greased them and I havn't had any problems. Hope it helps.. Maybe it's what your problem is...
