                      Easy to replace with only 2 bolts and the UBJ to detach. Does have zerks which the OEM didn't, so you might want to look for some zerk caps to keep it clean.

                            ball joints are pressed in and hardly ever squeek..
                            try greasing your front end..it should stop .if that is where the squeek is..
