My right front suspension squeeks near the lower ball joint like it's in need of grease. But, I heard that there is no grease fitting (i didn't see one either). Do I have to replace the lower ball joint? Anyone else had this loud squeeking noise??

It's on a 95GT

Could be the bearing, they go bad. Jack it up and spin the front, see if it sqeals.

Could possibly be the ball joints, which is kind of a shitty job to perform if you gotta change them out. Had that problem on my 95, only 54k and they squeaked fairly bad.

I wrecked the car before I could try this, but it is just a rubber piece over the joint.. you might be able to put some grease or wd40 into a syringe and shoot it through the rubber. Just a shot in the dark though.... [Wink]
