A lot of squeaking under truck
I have a 2002 Ranger/Mazda that has just started squeaking a lot, especially when steering. You can literally hear me coming down the road. I am wondering if I need to replace tie rods, ball joints, or both.

Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking serpentine belt needs replacement/adjustment on that year Ranger. The newer ones are Servo-Electric assist I believe.
