Hi guys, new here. I'm about to buy a 97 tomorrow, there is only one thing that I have a concern about with it. When the truck is sitting still or rolling slowly, there is a squeak when the wheel is turned. I'm guessing its the grease points running dry and making noise, but this is the first ford I've ever owned so I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated.

Its probably the control arm bushings. Take a look at them and see if they are all cracked.

most likly it is the non greasable ball joints and steering linkage...
you can grease them with a grease needle, but do a good suspension check first and see if they need replaced
