Suspension Noise

1994 Ford Explorer 4WD. Squeek front right side. I think it is the insulator for the coil spring. Any other suggestions.

Check the radius arm bushings closely. They are notorious for going bad on that side because of the exhaust being so close. You can spray some silicone spray in the spring seats but I doubt that's your problem. Also hold the ball joints while turning the wheels with the weight on it. A dry ball joint will do that also, although this vehicle isn't known for making ball joint noise. You will feel the vibration in the joint if it's dry.
