I've seen the outer tie rod ends on these squeak when they dry out. Outers
are relatively easy to replace. The inners can be more difficult.... a
special tube wrench will make life much easier but it is still possible to
damage the rack if you are inexperienced or unwary. There were two (IIRC)
TSBs regarding popping in the front when cornering that had some
modifications being performed on the strut/spring assemblies - sorry, I
don't recall any warranty extensions being offered for this concern.

I'd recommend getting a manual and reviewing the process before you even
take a wheel off. Also, you need to get the toe at least close and then
proceed immediately to an alignment shop... incorrect toe can scrub a set of
tires off faster than you can say "Ooops!!!".
