My van squeaks so much you can hear me coming down the street. Everyone knows I am home. If I turn the wheel it squeaks. How can I stop it?

Hi,

Squeaking is one of a couple things. Either worn out rubber bushings or worn out joints like ball joints, tie rod ends, etc.

If the noise is when you are turning I suspect you have tie rod ends that are worn out. Sometimes you can grease these components and it will quite them down but in most cases you need to replace them.
