Extreme Squeek in front Drivers side

[dpapagolos]

Ok I did my searches and am a little confused as to what is causing the problem. My assumption is it is ball joint(s). If so then what part(s) do I need to do this? What is the knuckle? That does not seem to have the ball joints, the control arms seem to. Like I said I am confused. Maybe Bill From Ford Parts can chime in. Please help.
Also seem to be some vibration aswell is this related?
Thanks in advance.

you either have a ball joint or tie rod dry

a temp fix is to poke a small hole in the boot and spray some lube in there
if it is still tight will quiet it down for a while till you can fix

Any suggestions on how to determine which is the problem?
thanks

Update

If I jack the car up and hold the wheel at 3 oclock and 9oclock I can rock the wheel side to side on both the pass and driv side. Is this normal and if so how much.
Thanks
Again
Need help

if you can hear while turning in air or bouncing car you should be able to hold your hand on the joints and feel the bad joint as it moves

as far as being able to move your wheels a very small amount is normal if you rock hard if you feel it very loose probably an inner tie rod worn

Just push down on the corner wher it's squeeking... If you hear the squeek as the shock rebound it's 95% the ball joint.
