squecky/squeling noise
i have a pretty bad squecky/squeling noise on my front end, whenever i turn the wheels, and whenever i got over bumps my front end makes this noise. my dad checked it out and said it was either a tierod or a balljoint. any other input on what this sound might be or what's causing it? thanks

RE: squecky/squeling noise
If i were you id just try to single out what the noise most likely is. Then replace bushings and ball joints accordingly. My dad did that on his 98 f 150 and ended up replacing the whole front steering assembly. He says it drive like the day he got it.

RE: squecky/squeling noise
I had to replace the tie rod ends on my car because they were doing that when I bought it. They come from Ford completely sealed so you can't grease them, it's a horrible design. It's hard to tell if it's a tie rod end or a ball joint from a text description though, and it could be either. There is a test to find out which it is, but I can't remember it exactly now. I'm sure someone can come and help complete this for me, but you have to jack up the car and text for slack in the wheels, I just can't remember exactly how it worked and which way was which. Tie rod ends are a very simple and fairly cheap fix though.
