Probably just a bad gasket on the control arm. Happened on my '98.

He probably thinks the squeek is coming from your ball joint. Ford only sells ball joints already attached to the control arms. Kinda like their foglights. You can't just buy the casing, you have to buy the brackets too.

LOL - that's how my local dealer is - and why I never take any of my vehicles to them for service....much rather drive a few miles and be treated with respect.
