Question Squeaky suspension

I have a 1998 F150 Supercab that squeaks on the left hand side. Either turn the wheels or going straight over uneven terrain. Does anyone else have this issue or know what it maybe. I thought it may be the bushings, common issue? Thanks in advance.

Is it coming from the front or rear?

It could be something simple like greasing a few joints, or some components may need to be replaced. I would take it to a shop to get it checked out.

Inspect cab mount and bed mount bushings before you go nuts on the suspension. Also give the exhaust a shake (when cool, of course) and see if it squeeks.

I vote for the ball joints being bad, as well as the pitman arm.
