Steering issues

Hi all,
My truck has some steering issues at low speed. When I turn at about 10mph or below, it squeaks like a really squeaky door, in both directions. Also, when I am moving really slow, like when I am parking, the wheel is really hard to turn, like I have to muscle it around. I checked the fluid, it is pink, so I guess it is ATF? I know my driver's side upper ball joint is shot, could this be the issue?
Thanks,

I'm not sure. I've never heard of ball joints squeaking. Do they? I always thought they just clunked when you went over bumps.

my balljoints recently started to squeek.I put lithium grease on them and it stopped.I'm pretty sure mine need replaced. I have the occasional clunk when turning and going over a bump.
