Steering Gears, Pumps and Hoses
This tech tip applies to vehicles built before 12-23-2010, these vehicles can exhibit a
squeak or rubbing noise when turning the steering wheel. Do not replace the
steering gear, steering pump, power steering pressure hose or power steering
return hose before investigating the dash seal ring. The source of the noise may be
the sealing ring under the dash seal. To correct the issue apply MOPAR product
part number 04318070AD (Silicone Spray Lube) to the inner dash seal interface and
also the outer engine compartment interface. Do not use any alternate lubricants. If
MOPAR product part number 04318070AD (Silicone Spray Lube) is not available
then replace the assembly. Refer to TSB 08-091-14.
