Default Just Bought My 1st 1998 V6 Stang. Need Help!

So I just bought my 1st Mustang tonight. I get this loud squeak noise when you compress or hit a bump on the drivers side front. Any ideas?

bad shock? could also be that something else is worn.

Congrats on the purchase though, sn95's are a lot of fun.

Try to rock the front of your car if it doesnt bounce alot, ur shocks are fine. That definitely is your balljoin get that replace soon. I had mine squeak every time I hit a small bump or turned the wheel. I ignored it and 2 months later the balljoint came off and that means more damage.

My buddy let his ball joint just squeak and it ended up snapping, bending the rim, ruining the fender and screwing up his aftermarket suspension. Deffinetly go and get that fixed ASAP
