Default Squeaking when turning

I've seen many posts about this, but I took a video of it.

Mine is coming from the front right tire only, and squeaks when I turn the wheel back and forth, and pops sometimes. I don't know if its the lower ball joint, the control arm, or something else. Any input is welcome.

As far as the knocking sound... i have no clue, as far as the squeaking... from what i could hear it sounded like all fords sound... the power steering on fords always seems to have a noise.

That sounds like crap!! Im havin the same problem right now with mine. Doesnt sound as bad but i get a poping when i turn hard left or right. Took it to get alined because of my drop and had them look at it and they tell me my rack is leaking and its gonna cost 600 to replace it!! what makes me made is if i go ahead with the new rack im worried that my 1.5 inch drop is gonna ruin the next one. i also put on steeda sway bars and ive noticed that my front right wheel rubs on it so im thinking my wheel stops turnin but the rack keeps tryin to pull the tire to turn. maybe i need spacers.
