Getting a noticeable squeaking noise when turning the wheel at low speed on my truck listed above Rebel. It has only started over the last day or two. The local shop thinks it is worn out ball joints, but just wanted to get another opinion. Planning on taking a trip out of town this weekend, just wondering if it should be still safe to do so? I will attach a video.

To me it sounds like the bearing hub can be bad, do you have large wheels on it? If so, this is how to change them out. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response to any problems so we can see what to help you with.
