Hey guys I've just replaced all the ball joints on the front end and 2weeks later I hear a squeaking noise coming from the front passenger side when turning right. What could this be? Truck is a 99 4x4 with the 5.4. Thanks in advance, Clay.

 

could be tie rod ends if it does it only when turnin

 

It might be but when it's turned at full lock and I hold it there it still squeaking but only when turning right.

 

sounds like maybe just 1 is bad if its only while right, tryin to think of what else can cause this besides ball joints but cant atm, if anything comes to mind il let ya know though.

 

Describe the squeak? Just one squeak or a series of squeaks?

 

The noise kind of sounds like squeaky brakes

 

lower ball joints are the usual culprit

 

But I changed all the ball joints 2 weeks ago

 

Another idea i sway bar end links with bad bushings. I would check these out see if they are broken. These cost 20$ for both sides and take about a half hour to do yourself. Also is there any clunk, broken end links usually cause this too. Otherwise, or lean towards tie rods since you did ball joints. Good luck.

 

bad ball joints sound exactly like squeaky brakes.

Did your new ball joints get greased after installation?

Are you SURE the brakes are not squeaking?

Sway bar bushings?
