Front end noise 2000 Ranger XLT 2wd Ext. cab 3.0

I have front end noise in my truck it has 138,000 miles. I hear the noise going down the road, when i get in the truck. I wonder if its the shocks or the ball joints which seems tight. Its a squeaking type noise. Looking for answers.

Try lubricating the sway bar bushings

I have the same exact problem with the same exact truck. It's your lower control arms. The rubber bushings are probably a little shrunken from the cold weather. The noise is the rubber rubbing. I had the same problem. My shop had to give me upgraded control arms bc of a faulty brand. I still have the squeak, although its much quieter after new shocks and new arms, it's still present during really cold weather while driving over speed bumps and other suspension aching road obstacles.

I'm thinking the bushings might need to be made bigger. But I also think that may cause problems when the weather gets warm and the rubber expands.
