Hi- i've got a 2001 explorer sport, and i hear a loud squeek whenever the front end dips and when I turn. I shook the truck while underneath it and i have located the squeak to be coming from the ball joint on the driver's side lower control arm. When comparing its outward appearance to the lower ball joint on the passenger's side, the squeaky one seems to be slightly compressed- does that combined with the noise mean that something is wrong with it? If so, then is there a way for me to fix or to replace the ball joint by myself without having to go to the dealer?
