It seems like everytime I turn either left or right, there is a loud creaking and grinding noise coming from the wheel wells. I have a 2000 Dakota, 5.9l. I know that the driverside lower ball joint is bad and needs replaced. Could that just be it? Or the bushings. The noise is driving me nuts.

 

Had squeeking from the frontg end of my 19 4x4. Got underneath with a spray can of silicone aqnd sprayed the crap out of anything that looked like a rubber bushing,noise went away.

 

check the inside of the rim to see if its grinding the control arm
