Two problems on a 99 expedition
Two problems I have been having one really only happens when it is hot out.. Whenever I hit a bump or have any movement I get a annoying creaking sound from the front of the truck. Kinda like a rusty metal hinge in a door? Second has been happening a bit longer but just as annoying none the less. I doubt they have anything to do with each other. When I am stopped and ready to turn ( mostly on right turns ) I get bad shudder in what seems to be the passenger front tire. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

I agree the creaking is likely the control arm bushings. If you want to confirm this, soak them with WD-40 just to see if the creaking goes away. The shuddering could be due to needing a front end alignment.
