Squeaking noise comming from the right front wheel well when going over bumps in a 2003 Ford Ranger

look under truck and see if anything is wrapped around drive shaft also if looks good u joints may be going bad also check the center bearing and bracket its a support hanger bearing for driveshaft

2003 marquis have rack and pinnon no inner tie rods

It could be a bad Shock/Strut, Ball Joint or a bad CV Axle. Put the car on a lift and try to move the parts around to try to isolate the noise.

I would say check the cv joints.

ball joints won't squeak like that; they make a popping noise when they're bad. it is very common for shocks to get water in them and start squeaking, and it's usually a horrible screeching squeak. The only way to get rid of the squeak is to change out the shocks. Hope this helped.

chances are that noise is the ball joints telling you they are dry and have no grease and they should be replaces fairly soon

Could be the wheel cover (if equipped) git a little bent against the wheel itself. Try removing cover and see if sound is gone.

this would not be a wheel bearing, it sounds like a driveshaft universal joint noise.

It can be from both the struts and any piece of frame or body that has a rubber mount.(most likely struts and A arms making the noise)


Please rate this a fixya

sounds like the lower ball joint is making noise.
