First of all I'd like to say hi to everyone and I'm new here so nice to meet everyone..!! Love my 97 expedition have pictures soon!! Main problem is a squeak I have(not the front hub assemblies I have already changed those lol.!
After I drive about 5 miles or so I start hearing a squeek that kinda sounds like bearings are goin to go bad on the passenger side no squeal when stopped but it gets louder the longer i drive or the harder I accelerate after it has warmed up almost like a hub cap squeak..!! and suggestions ( and I have another squeak on the passanger side front when i hit bumps only not when turning ect.. only bumps) Thanks ...... for any help..!

If it's more of a creaking sound, The squeak on the bumps is probably your ball joints .. Grease em up.

Your buddy might be right. Maybe a failing U-joint. Easier to hear if you can drive along side a building, with the window down. Pretty rhythmic squeak. .
My u joint made more vibration than noise. It really shuddered getting up to highway speed. The only sound I got out of that was a chirp on start up. Maybe a rock stuck somewhere? My Jeep gets rocks stuck up in the brakes once in a while, and causes a squeal. There was a cover on the back of the brake that had got misaligned and was rubbing while I drove that also produced a squeal.
Could be a few things.

I have a squeak when I turn my steering wheel (coming from outside) that is driving me insane. We cannot locate it at all. I have greased everything and prayed everything else with penetrating oil a bit a time to try and figure it out. I just live with it now.
