92 Explorer Front end Squeek

I just inherited a 92 Explorer Xlt.This thing is in very good shape and not a scratch on it.One problem i am having is it has sat in a garage for about 6 months and has developed a Squeek when turning corners.I have greased all zerts in the front end but to no avail.You can rock the front end and hear it.Sounds like a bushing or something that has just hardened.Any help would be appreciated.

My BII had squeaks like that were in the shock absorber mounts. The best advice I've got is to get someone to come out and bounce while you poke around with a stethoscope until you find the squeak.

Most likely a bushing, mount, etc. somewhere. One good tip I've seen is to have someone bounce the truck while you spray each of the bushings with WD-40 (or lubricant of choice). Keep bouncing, if the noise doesn't stop, move to the next bushing. When the noise stops, you've found the source.
