Default Explorer Suspension

1994 4WD Explorer. I have a pronounce squeek in the front right side. It sounds when turning slightly but is more pronounce over the curb, bumps, etc. After review the manual, I have come to somewhat of a conclusion that it is the spring insulator however, I don't want to remove it until I get a second opinion.

Has anyone had experience with this and/or have a second opinion ??

Try shooting some wd40 or other type of lubricant where the sping rides. Also double check all bolt surrounding the area, check for rust streaks, it will show a loose bolt. Especially where the suppension components bolt to frame.

The reason for the lubricant so you can see if it a "rubbing" prob. or something else like bushings dry or ball joints, tie rod ends, ect. being dry or going by. The noise will echo in the frame sounding like its something else. Just for your info. I work for UPS as a package car mech. and I see alot of stuff. I will help as much as I can.
