After changing the K member,and taking off the rack and pinion (the assembly that turns the wheels), I am getting squeking from the steering system when turning at stops or at any speed. I know my car badly needs an alignment, but I don't want to pay $80 and then have another alignment done after I fix my steering system noise. I don't have much knowledge in steering system fixing, and I know it is not a simple fix. Read many threads where people had problems, learned a bit already.

When I changed my rack and pinion, some air got in it. I will try bleeding my system. Also,what is a ball joint? Any ideas what could help me to fix the problem

 

make sure your power steering is full.

check the PS lines.......make sure theres no awkward bends or kinks or leaks.

 

oh and grease the ball joints that you messed with. you can easily identify them cuz they have a little bleeder lookin thing on them and thats where you grease the **** with a grease gun. you'll find them on the pivotal joints of your steering system like on the back of your wheel spindle.
