Sqeeky Front End

I Have a 1999 Ford Expedition 2wd 4.6
i just changed the shocks but the front end still squeeks when i hit bumps and when i turn the steering wheel
i didnt see grease fittings so i know that they are sealed so what would cause the sqeeking?

It's likely upper and/or lower ball joints. This is all F150 stuff up there and the original parts have a habit of going out at around 70-ishK miles. I have replaced all ball joints by 89K and no more squeaks. When they go and they go very suddenly, they sure squeak!

squeaky ball joints

Replace them with Moog joints...they have grease fittings!
