What are the torque specs for upper and lower ball joints on a 2014 Silverado 1500 4x4 w/ aluminum arms

Looking at the factory repair manual it shows the ball joints themselves are pressed in. If you purchased an aftermarket component that bolts in I would contact that company and ask what the torque specs are supposed to be. If you are referring to the ball joint STUD nut, they are torqued in two passes. The upper ball joint to 37 Lb Ft on first pass and then final pass torque 90-110 degrees. Lower ball joint 37 Lb Ft and 125-135 degrees. See attached screenshots from manual.

Left front suspension squeaking badly on 2000 Ford Explorer XLS. Is there a grease point for the A arms or do I need new struts/shocks?

If the boots are ripped on your lower ball joints you will need to replace them, rain water has washed away the factory lubricant they have no grease fitting from the factory. Replacements will come with grease fittings. Tie rod ends can also be the source of the noise, same deal no factory fittings. VERY COMMON PROBLEM.
