Default 5th gen Accord prob

Ok here is yet another prob that I am running into. I am driving home from work and it is kinda windy now that winter is kinda caoming soon. But anyway when ever I have driven for a while or when it cold matter of fact it always happens when it is kinda cold it did this last winter.
I would move the steering wheel left and right and it would make a sqeaking noise from outside that i can hear inside of my car not only that my car would kinda surge alittle. Now i have checked if the power steering fluid is up to par and so forth also the belts are good on the power steering i dont know what else to think. can anyone help me out with this prob please please please please please please please please

Get your ball joints checked ASAP. You do not want to snap one as I found out. Pulled the driveshaft straight out the engine and done some serious damage to the front suspension area, lucky I was only doing 20 on a straight road dread to think what would've happened at speed. Top and bottom on the front suspension.

I had the same problem, it turned out to be my lower ball joints.
You better hope it's not your upper ball joint, cause the upper control arm is attached, and the whole thing will have to be replaced.

Not really that expensive.
Since you're in BKLYN,...call up information and get the number to a place called GB 500. They should have the parts the cheapest.
Then take it to a grease monkey around the block.
