issues with suspension or steering?

[vasquerity]

hi guys,

im new to 4x4's so cut me some slack...i just bought my first dual cab hilux, sr5 96'. its been quite good so far, very happy with it. its stock as far as i can tell.

however driving it around lately im starting to notice alot of squeaking noises coming from under the car (sounds more like metal than rubber squeaks) mostly when i turn, but happens a couple times when the wheels are pointed straight too.

im still learning about the car so it may be nothing, but id rather be aware if it is a problem.

i know the previous owner put in new ball joints (upper and lower i think he said) before i bought the car too, but they were fitted by a qualified mechanic...

anyways, hopefully someone has an idea of what this could be, or what i can at least check to see if there is a problem.

thanks in advance.

Get some good grease and a grease gun, and gease up ALL the grease nipples real good.
That would be my first plan.
If its still doing it, then check ALL bushes for wear, check all steering and suspension linkages for wear/cracks/loose.
