I'm getting a creaking sound while I'm turning the wheel. It sounds like the suspension unsettling, but I don't think it could be that. If I just turn the wheel just a little bit it will creak. I think it may have something to do with the rack, but I'm not too sure on that either. Thanks for any help.

Anyone??

 

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same problem. At first I thought it was the rag joint eliminator, but it's not. I had a friend turn the wheel back and forth while I listened under the hood and the creak sound definitely sounds like it's coming from the rack.

I wonder if there's an adjustment on the rack to fix it; or if it just needs to be replaced.

Anyone have any ideas?

I just looked through my service manual and found there is an adjustment to set the rack pre-load.

Any steering experts know if this adjustment needs to be done from time to time?
