Front Control arm noise
My front suspension is making a TON of noise, it sqeuaks whenever I turn the steerling wheel. I think it is control arms or tie rod ends... it was suggested to me (by Kris Hansen) to inject lube into the boot of the arms, but that has not quieted them down at all. does anyone have some suggestions for me

It may be that you need to tap the top of the arms to get grease in the upper side..
depending on how much grease you ended up getting in the boots, it may not have worked it's way up on the top of the ball. When I used the grease needle trick, I used a grease gun, and actually pumped the grease into the boot, till it started to come back out. Then, I pulled the needle out, and covered the hole with my finger, to let the pressurized grease work it's way up (hopefully).
