Ford Mustang: Stearing noise question

    Stearing noise question

    I have a 95' Mustang GT Convertable and lately when I turn right it
    makes a creaking noise. It is only when I turn right though left is
    completely silent. The creak happens at the same stearing location
    each time also. For example, I turn from 1 oclock to 2 oclock you hear
    1 creak. From 3-4 it is silent and then creaks again at 5-6 oclock. If
    I then go back to center and do this again it creaks in the exact same
    locations everytime.

    I have read so many different thing causing this but the latest I have
    heard is sway bar bushings. Would this be the case? If so are they
    pritty easy to replace myself?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks a lot for your help!
    Chris

    LOWER BALL JOINT. They are sealed without grease fittings from the factory.
    For $150 including labor will cover the repair. If you let it go it will do
    more then make a creak sound. Frozen ball joint is next. Turn a corner and
    the steering wheel will have to be turned back to straight.

    Yes, I have the same problem with my '97 GT and what gets me aggravated is
    that it only has 45,000 KM on it. The mechanic is trying to needle squirt
    some grease in there and I will see if it helps. If not, no choice but to
    change them. Go with something superior like MOOG instead of replacement
    FORD original....

    ****Dont bother with squirting grease unless it is a tempory fix. There are
    Fords coming in to replace the ball joints at 20k. The replacement joints
    have grease fittings but dont unstand why Ford continues with sealed joints.
    Check the boots for tears. It makes a big difference steering the car when
    the joints are tight and greased. You should be able to Turn a corner with
    ease and the steering wheel snaps back on its own even with 245/45 WR 17
    mounted on the front. I have Eibach, lowering springs on my 96 GT vert stick
    and can turn with two fingers. When my joint went bad it creeked first just
    backing up but soon the joint froze up and steering slowly goes from bad to
    worse. Just my thoughts
