After lots of reading and 2-3 mechanics, my first attempt on my 1995 f150 2wd, was successful. Issue was a loud squeak (front driver side) when I turned either way. It was the transmission crossmember. Truck parked in driveway (slight slant front end being higher), I loosened the bottom single 10.9 grade metric bolt slowly to about 1/8th inch open, cleaned out a lot of crud, wd40, and cinched back down nearly as hard as I could as I do not have a torque wrench. Noise completely gone! I inspected for any shifting of anything or bends, and nothing. Even counted threads exposed compared to other one even though I know that almost means nothing. Feel good about it but I know there are a lot of things that I could be chewed out for, ie the uneven place of work, not torqueing to spec, not aleviating the block and tranny weight for a complete crossmember removal for proper bolt securing sequence. Anybody have thoughts on this? Oh and while driving there are no new vibrations of any sorts. Thanks for any help!

 

Should be good. That's about how anybody else would do it.
