V8V creaking steering
Have creaking sound with turning wheels at low speeds ... does the front end need grease?

I’m guessing you have checked the steering reservoir level..may need a fluid change..and checks for leaks..

yes. Fluid is full with Petrosin and also has lubrizol...

I'm thinking some bushings may be worn... steering is tight, high speed and even on bumps...

Could be anything from a steering rack issue to worn suspension parts. The squeaking is probably your starting point. Find out what’s squeaking and go from there.

GWP is infamous around these parts
Make sure your wheel nuts are tightened to 140 ft/lbs. That cured mine.
