2000 Jimmy Squeak (not the ball joints) by whiteink

Wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction here. I have a 2000 Jimmy and it seems that every-once-in-a-while the front end begins to squeak terribly. I thought it might have been because the Jimmy tends to have problems with the manufacturers ball joints, but they have all been replaced and it is still squeaking???? It might just be my imagination, but I think it is happenning when the temperature gets around 76-85 degrees.
 
Sound description: Sounds like a wagon squeak. I can push down on the front end and it squeaks. It's more like a very loud "CREEEEEEEEEK". ??? Hope that helps. Anyway, I'm not to automotive savvy so any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,
whiteink.

Grease the front end. Upper and lower ball joints, steering linkage, and A arms... about 10 locations total.

Could anyone please tell me what the noise in the front hub could be?

Hub is failing most probably - just did my 01 and both ball joints (lower was really trashed) and one hub had a slight give or several thousands wobble so I changed both - 85k on this Blazer. Blazer is now tighter than new in the front and the 65up shimmy gone.

I have some play in the passenger side front hub and a grinding noise. Needs replacing, that's obvious. Need cash and time, too. Noise began 2 days ago. Anyone know how long or how many miles I can wait before I've done irreparable harm? I need about 5 days or so.

No way to tell - keep the speed down and no long trips and you may be OK - when it really stars screaming stop.

Mine is a 2000 Jimmy, 2WD. There's no axle spindle nut. Are the three hub to knuckle nuts the only thing I need to worry about? Or do I need to have a pro remove the old and press the new hub in place?

Just finished my own 2000 Jimmy (2WD). No pressing needed. Just unbolt three bolts to knuckle and it about fell off the car.
