Steering Squeeking
Greetings,
I have a 2009 Yaris Liftback (42,000 miles) that has a strange squeal/squeek when turning the steering wheel left. The issue occurs when the vehicle is stationary and turning at low speeds. The issue does not occur when turning right. I have recently installed TRD springs/shocks, new wheels, tires, and got an alignment. The problem may have been present before these changes were made, but I am not sure. The noise started out really faint and is progressively getting louder. Here is a link to the symptom: https://imgur.com/a/LUatpAE I am unsure of the cause. According to the 2007 service manual, the problem may be the electronic power steering motor, but I hope not. Does anyone have any ideas of the cause? Thanks. |

Take a bottle of silicone spray, start spraying all the suspension components and see if that helps, like the control arm bushing, shock mounts, boots, steering knuckle and all of it
