Hey, i have a 99 f 150... in the front end it feelis like the supension it squeaks over bumps or some random occasions qwhen i turn the tire... is it the lower adn upper ball joints or is it my shocks any ideas anyone?

 

the lower ball joints can be greased. my tire/suspension shop told me to do them.

 

get your truck undercoated with krown as a temporary fix until you can do your ball joints. it lubes up everything underneath, gets rid of squeaks, and displaces moisture preventing rust!

 

It's your lower balljoint ,

 

try spraying oil or lithium grease on the upper and lower bushings on the a-arms. then drive it for while and see if the noise goes away.

 

thanks... another for ya... could the squeaking be from the cold weather we have been having here in michigan... i meanit just started prolly a week or two ago... when it got sub zero

 

i have the same problem but i have a 6" fabtech lift on it and it squeaks like crazy all the time. would it be the same thing with the ball joints? i guess i will try that but does anyone else have any ideas as to what it is? it almost sounds like a chain is under there rattleing but i have felt everything and it all is tight. i guess i will lift the truck up to where it is off the suspension and feel it all then too.

didnt mean to hi jack it from ya thanks

 

ok... got everything greased... had the ball joints replaced any other ideas still does it when i turn the wheel and over bumps is it possibly my steering arms... any ideas please cause my mechanic is in the same boat as me he doesnt think it is and he doesnt want to do what it doesnt need to have done
