- 2003 Mercury Mountaineer
My 2003 Mountaineer has the classic squeaky/creaky front end. After WD40ing EVERYTHING to no avail, I've finally narrowed it down to the RF lower ball joint. The disturbing thing is that both the RF upper and lower control arms & ball joints are only a year old and have less than 15000 miles on them. I believe they're Dorman and don't have grease fittings on them but they're in excellent condition otherwise. Is this typical, and will using a grease gun needle to lube them through the boot help? The creak is driving me nuts over bumps, especially now that Spring is here and I'm driving with the Windows down.
