Since the truck is so new, I would say that grease in the ball joints will help. I would have a helper steering the truck while get under the truck and try to hear where the noise is coming from. A squeaking noise when turning the wheel at low speeds can indeed be an indication of worn-out ball joints, but it's always a good idea to get a second opinion. If you're unsure, it's best to have the issue inspected by a qualified mechanic who can physically assess the condition of the ball joints and other relevant components.
Ball joints play a crucial role in the suspension system, connecting the control arms to the steering knuckles. If they are worn or damaged, it can affect the stability and control of the vehicle, potentially leading to unsafe driving conditions.
While it's difficult to determine the severity of the issue without a proper inspection, if the ball joints are indeed worn, it's generally recommended to have them replaced as soon as possible. Worn ball joints can cause further damage to other suspension components and compromise the overall handling and safety of the vehicle.
Considering that you have a trip planned, it's crucial to prioritize safety. If there's any doubt about the condition of the ball joints or any other critical components, it would be wise to have the issue addressed before embarking on a long journey. A thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic will provide you with a better understanding of the problem and the necessary repairs needed to ensure safe travels.
