Default Loud Squeaking?? Steering Shaft?

Anyone ever experienced loud squeking while turning wheel in 2006 S Type? Removed front wheel and found that sounds seem to be coming from steering shaft.. this gets very embarrassing when people are staring at how beautiful your car is until you get to turning the wheel and a loud squeking starts to happen. Thanks in advance

Very common issue. The squeak is from the steering rack itself, not the steering wheel or shaft.

The fix is simple. Follow this:

If you can hear it OUTSIDE the car, then it is likely a ball joint.

Thanks for your input I'll start with the additive tomorrow morning since it'll be simple. The I'll try the ball joints since I noticed the noise is louder when the car is on the ground then It was when the car was jacked up
