Same here, believe it's the right front tire side. Think mine might be the strut since I usually hear it going over bumps and just going straight and also while turning.

I had a squeak on mine for a long time and finally noticed that it would make the noise when I'd turn the steering wheel, even when stopped. I did some investimigating and discovered that the tie rod ends were completely dry of grease. Lubed 'em up and no more squeak. I have a 98 and it's equipped with the grease fittings, I know that the newer models are not. Maybe it's possible to lift the grease boot up and put some grease under it. If that doesn't work, then the tie rod end may have to be replaced.

Thanks for the tip Crazy1, guess one of us just need to find out of the pre97's have the grease fittings.

mine does not, but what i was thinking about doing was buying one of the greese injector needles and try that.

 

[AntL97Cobra]

Injector needles? Do you actually go thru the rubber boot or just try to slip it in under the boot? I'd like to get rid of this squeeky so any other helpful information would be great. Thanks in advance.

I've never used a grease injector but I'd try to slip the end under the boot. If you just can't get to it then you're gonna have to poke it!

Im going to just poke it as close as i can to the top, i dont think your able to pull the boots up or down. Im sure you could to one to fit a grease nipple, but pullin the rod end would be a PITA. I would probably just replace them if their not an arm and a leg

Yep, squeaky tie rod ends, had that on my 96 Cobra, lubed 'em up,& took care of it.

 

[AntL97Cobra]

How did you lube them Atnb93gt? Does the 96 have grease fittings?

I changed mine to aftermarkets w/ grease fittings.
