if your looking for a stock replacement, autozone.com, otherwise, if you ever considered upgrading your front suspension, a good kit will come with new ones.

not sure if you can buy seperately, but you could try disassembling and slapping some grease in there. free. might work.

check your a-arm bushings. My 89 did the same thing. Changed struts sway bar bushings and it still squeaked. My A-arm bushungs were bad.

Outer tie rod ends very commonly make a loud squeaking noise on SN95 cars when cornering, going over bumps or even just turning the steering wheel. The originals are not greasable and when they dry out they're noisier than hell. I've experienced it personally and know three other people that have had it happen to them as well. Outer tie rod ends are quite inexpensive, but you should have an alignment done afterwards.

To verify that this is the problem, get a buddy to help. Reach behind the front tire and put your hand on the bottom of the outer tie rod. Have the other person turn the steering wheel or bounce the front of the car. Whatever it takes to make the noise. You should very distinctly feel the noise in the tie rod end.

Very common problem with all of Henrys late model vehicles! My 98' Ranger did it, my 97' Thunderbird did it and my 04' Mach 1 does it. I just spray all my front end bushings with some light-weight oil.
