I have a bad sqeak in the front end of my 2001 Escape. I have not found what is causing this issue. But it appears to be something with the power steering. This annoying squeak only happens when I turn the steering. If you find out anything else on this issue it would be a great help.
The squeak possibly could be tierods. My '98 Mercury had a bit of a squeak coming from under the front and I figured it to be just old car sounds coming on. The steering started getting a bit tight and shaky, from there I was told the steering trouble was undiagnosable, but the tirods needed replacement and the squeaking was what alerted them to that. I went to a different mechanic to have that fixed and they told me the steering trouble was definitely related to the tierod. After they replaced that the squeak and steering trouble was gone.
There is a small spring loaded metal contact which slides on a disk on the back of the steering wheel. Normally there is di-electric grease on the disk and over time it gets rubbed off and will start to squeak. Removing the steering wheel and adding some di-electric grease to the area should eliminate the sound.
