If you will read my post which is just of few down or up from yours it is called "The Mysterious Squeak". The fine people here in the Ranger/B-Series forum all came to the conclusion that it is the ball joints. Hope that helps.

thanks for your suggestion but the rangers problem has something to do with the power steering. i popped the hood when i got off work the other day and power steering fluid was everywhere, i checked the fluid level and it was way to high but when i checked it a few days ago it was fine. i got a mechanic coming out this weekend to check it out for me.

I had the squeak too. For me it was lower ball joints.
