I've got a 2004 3.9L V6. I bought it this past May. The one thing I have noticed is that over bumpy roads (and one of the main roads to work has a lot of cracks and bumps in it), I always seem to feel it a lot more than my previous car (which was a 98 Honda Civic). I've tried riding with the traction control on and off to see if there was any difference, but none that was noticeable to me.

Anyways, recently when going over bumps, the left side squeaks. Reading through the forums, I was pretty sure that it was the ball joint. But I just tried pushing down on the front fender a few times and not a single squeak out of it. And it doesn't squeak if turn the wheels in either direction.

Any ideas?
