Hi. These SUVs are known to have a bushing failure that affects the shift cable. is the cable loose and sloppy? if so please inspect the end of the shift cable under the dashboard. If your issue is different and you need to adjust (recenter) the shift selections. The adjustment is a single 10mm bolt at the end of the cable, at the transmission. Easy. Loosen the bolt and slide the cable until the tension is neutral, tighten and test.

SOURCE: 2002 ford escape tie rod squeaks
My outer tie rod did the same thing when just out of warranty. I could tell it was "bad" by putting my hand on the tie rod while someone else turned the steering a little and I could easily feel the vibration.
Check the other side to feel the difference. Tie rods don't cost that much, if you can replace it yourself, and take a chance on foregoing the wheel alignment. Maybe a $150? job at the shop.
In my case, a tie rod was not readily available. I verified that it was a good joint; no shake or rattle. Then I squirted a little WD40 inside the boot, and put it back together. 70,000 miles later, the new tie rod is still on my shelf waiting for the squeak to return.
SOURCE: How do you replace the EGR on a 2002 ford escape?
To replace the the spark plugs on the V6, you'll need to remove the intake manifold. There is a coil on top of each plug (COP). Check this website for info:

The same link will also show the R&R of the EGR valve.
