I have a 2001 ranger 4x4 and since it turned 100000 miles, the front end squeaks when i turn the wheels and when i go over bumps at low speeds. It seems to be coming from the right wheel assembly but I really cant identify the problem. I've sprayed every bushing or moving parts with lubrication and still the squeaking continues. Would this possibly be something in the steering like a tie rod going bad, ball joint, or simply a shock going bad?? Nothing seems stiff in the steering nor does it ride any different. Thanks for your time.
