84 300DT: squealing sound when turning and going over bumps.

Mine doesn't sound this bad but I can definitely hear a squeal when turning. When I jacked the right front wheel up, I could hear a squeak. I'm thinking steering idler arm bushings.......

Listen to the first video, the cars on youtube's subsequent play list do not exhibit the same symptoms as the first video listed (captioned; "The most terrible noise I have ever heard from a car").

dry ball joint. Looked like the boot was split.

Took the car out this morning to run some errands, the squeaking has all but stopped. Noticed very slight squeal when turning to the right at very slow (under 10MPH) speed. Strange, because the other night when I drove it it sounded like someone was torturing a cat!!

Happens all the time. You need either lower ball joints, upper control arms or both ... Don't be lazy - problems like these don't just go away
