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!

Have to have it checked
Suspect tie rod and or ball joint
If have grease fitting should have it greased if not it need to be replaced

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.
