"Squeaky" front end
 
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).

take it in an have them greese all the zurks and what not and see if that helps and get in there and see if you can spray all of the knuckles on the steering column with wd40

Noise over bumps would be swaybar bushings.
Noise when turning probably tie rod end.
