Ok I bought this ford Taurus a few months back very shortly after buying it I noticed the front end squeaking ONLY when I turn it is NOT a whining noise. I took it back to the dealer I bought it off of and he told be that I need to grease the front end.I asked my dad and he said yeah that could be possible. So what I want to know is what’s this noise and if it needs to be greased what is it exactly that needs to be greased? I appreciate it thanks!

Well where do I start off. If you were such a car pro you would know that 99 ford taurus' do NOT have grease fittings. And that Ball joits make poping noises NOT SQUEAKING noises. I had to get under my own car to figure out the My year of car does not have grease fittings. And anyone who knows little about cars knows that a popping nose is a ball joint not a SQUEAKING noise! But thanks for the help anyways.
