Trying to determine the cause of squeaking (almost sounds like an
amplified version of the squeak a stair makes in your house when you
step on it) from the front end on my 2001 XLT. Prevalent when I turn the
steering wheel, or when I go over dips in the road or bumps. When I push
down on the front end (on both the driver's and passenger's side), I can
get the same response, so it's not taking much to get this sound. The
car's got 47000 miles on it and I started to hear it when the weather
got colder (20-30 degrees), although I can't remember it being this
pronounced during previous winters.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Tony

Problem solved. Turned out to be bad lower ball joints. Apparently,
after doing a little research, this is not an isolated problem. Some
Explorers have prematurely worn lower joints.
