    Recently I’ve noticed a squeaky sound on the left side every time I brake kinda hard, turn the steering left or the suspension flexing a bit
    I am assuming it maybe something to do with lack of some fluid, maybe steering fluid not too sure
    Any ideas what could it be and what should I do?
    Thanks

    It could be that the grease inside the ball joints has dried up. If you catch it early enough you can buy grease gun needle and inject more grease through the rubber boot. It's a band aid that will prolong the life of the ball joints a few more years. If the ball joints are already bad, then it's time to replace them.

    Mine were squeaking and I did this about a year ago. No more problems. I add a little more grease about every 6 months.

    This is exactly my experience with my lower bjs. The grease needle works very well
