Steering box

My steering box is kinda squeaky when I turn it slow... Is that normal and is there anyway to get fresh grease inside there?

I will look but it only does it when I turn the wheels at all.. I tried to wiggle the tires vertically no noise and no play.... Probably is a dry joint.. But is there a way to get some grease into the steering box? Could I just pull a boot back and put some in there? Thank you

no the rack is sealed you can't get grease in by removing the bootyou might want to check the steering shaft u joints also they could be squeaking

thats when a ball joint does it ...when you move the wheel

So I took benzos advice from some posts I've seen elsewhere and I got a grease needle poked a little hole and pumped the grease to it... The noises went away.. Thank god!!!
