Re: Steering Creaking
Welcome to the forum!
In the early to mid 90's, there seemed to be a lot of Fords with squeaky ball joints and/or outer tie rod ends.
You could also be experiencing dry upper strut plates as well, or possibly have an issue with the anti-swaybar end links being dry and noisy.
One way you can attempt to narrow down which part is the cause would be to use a small and sharp pick to poke a small hole in the rubber dust boot of the joint in question, then insert the straw from a can of spray white lithium grease into the joint and give it a quick squirt. Do one part at a time and cycle the joint a few times by steering or going for a quick drive. If the noise changes or temporarily goes away, you know you are in the right area. Don't be fooled though, it will only be a temporary fix. You'll need to replace the component to remedy the noise long term.
