Major squeaking coming from front drivers-side wheel.

[J Piroth]

It just started today out of nowhere. Sometimes happens when I'm sitting still and turn the wheel, always happens when I jump on the running board or go over bumps. I've greased the sway bar for squeaking before, but this is much louder than that was.



Thoughts?



It's an '01 4X4 Job 2 XLT with about 55K miles on it. Still has the original ball joints, so is that likely it?

I had a ball joint replaced on my old '05 Sport Trac on warranty...meaning at less than 36,000 miles. A front wheel bearing on warranty also.

I recently bought a needle that ataches to my grease gun. Pumped all the ball joint and tie rodends boots full. I hope it helps..
