I own a 2000 Ranger XLT 2WD with 82000 miles. Since retiring and moving to Florida, I began noticing a lot of squeaking going on in the front end, can't tell if it's in the steering column or elsewhere. I know some of the noise is coming from the struts since the right side squeaks when I bounce it. But this is making noise as I make turns. Please advise. Thanks. (P.S. The truck is no longer driven to work and I only put about 20 miles per week on it now).
