Have the steering and suspension systems inspected today at a tire and alignment shop. Ford has more trouble with suspension parts separating leading to loss of control and crashes than all other manufacturers combined, and in almost all cases that occurred within a few hundred miles of hearing noises that were ignored. The most common suspects are lower ball joints. Control arm bushings can cause squeaking too, but those aren't exactly a safety concern. Worn bushings will allow the alignment to change which will adversely affect handling, steering response, tire wear, and braking control, but it will not cause parts to suddenly come apart. You'll have plenty of warning when bushings are involved.
