power steering

If the noise sounds like its comming from the engine bay when you turn at slower speeds it could be your power steering. Mine just started doing that last year

tie rod ends are probably worn out, you can grease them but that'll only shut them up for a little while, you'll have to get them replaced.

more then likely its the tierod ends, ford has this issue with not putting grease fittings on anything anymore. and it's common for the tierod ends in mustang's , windstars, tuarus etc go bad do to no grease fittings. are your tie rod ends orig???? and it sounds like a creecking noise right.

When mine did this I sprayed a lot of wd-40 on the tie rods and things like that... haven't heard the squeak again in about a year now..

What part of the tie rod did you spray? Did you lift up the rubber boot and squirt in there? I too have a creaking noise now.. seems to happen more when its raining.

outer tie rod ends... they are permanent lube design... buy two new ones...

you can do that but....... tie rods that are already squeaking from lack of lubracation will break at somepoint with no warning.. they are already damaged.. dont be cheap replace them...

Its a common problem, dealer actually replaces my tie rod ends or some bushing, or something I dont really remember.
