1997 Mercury Grand Marquis steering problems

When approaching a turning intersection, attempting to turn left, I ended up crashing into a concrete lightpole. The vehicle was totalled. I suffered multiple fractures (I.e. Cervical/7 ribs/pelvis/right femur/right tibia/right fibular/right ankle. Left ankle was virtually destroyed ("in a million pieces" per surgeon). I was in traumatized for 3 weeks, in critical condition for a portion of that time.

Dt: the consumer owns a 1997 mercury grand marquis. While driving and using the steering wheel there was a squeaking noise. The consumer had taken the vehicle to the mechanic who suggested that there was no lubrication on the ball joints nor was there any way to lubricated them due to the design. The mechanic said that the ball joints should be alright for a while. No repairs or corrections were made at that time.
