SUBJECT: Squeaking Sound Occurs When Turning Steering Wheel

 

INTRODUCTION:

This bulletin announces the repair procedure to address rare cases of a squeaking-type sound occurring when turning the steering wheel.  This sound may be caused by a lack of lubrication where the dust seal contacts the steering joint assembly. If this situation is duplicated, follow the lubrication procedure outlined below.

 

PART INFORMATION:

Part Description Part Number
Niglube RX-2 000041000

 

*NOTE: ConocoPhillips Multiplex Red #2 may be used as a suitable equivalent.

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION:

IMPORTANT: Steering joint assemblies with a white dot on the dust boot have already been updated with sufficient lubrication.

 

STEP 1: Locate the dust seal on the steering joint assembly. Pull the dust seal in an upward direction toward the steering wheel.

 

STEP 2: Push the dust seal in a downward direction away from the steering wheel. This will allow the old grease to be exposed.

 

STEP 3: Using a lint free cloth, remove any old grease from the steering joint shaft and dust seal.

 

STEP 4: Once the old grease is removed and the shaft surface is clean, thoroughly apply 1-2 grams of grease around the shaft.

 

STEP 5: Pull the dust seal in an upward direction toward the steering wheel.

 

STEP 6: Push the dust seal in a downward direction away from the steering wheel. Ensure the grease is evenly spread around the shaft.

 

STEP 7: Turn the steering wheel left to right to further spread the grease and confirm any squeaking-type sound is not present.
