I've replaced the upper control arms inner and outer tie rods ( all moog ) and replaced the front backing plates ( Ford parts ) and replaced the tires with Firestone destination A/T's now there's a rubber squeaking noise when I drive it seems to be coming from the left front wheel area. I also got an alignment.
it wasn't doing it until I replaced the tie rods backing plates and tires.

Sounds like the dust shield is rubbing on your rotor. Happened to me a few times, it is just really close to the rotor that any little nudge will bend it into the rotor. That's where I'd start, simple and cheap lol.

the right one was doing that after me and my brother replaced them. The other one wasn't doing it though. It sounded more of a metal swishing sound. If that makes sense. This one sounds like plastic rubbing on metal sound. But I'll double check in the morning. Thanks
