    only when moving, or if my car was in place and i shake the front end..

    could it just be dust in my shocks?? I never put the dust protectors on my struts when i was installing them, my car doesn't feel like anything is performing differently

    The ball joints on the ucas should not squeak unless the boot on them broke and they are dry, then they could squeak.

    Is everything except the shocks and springs in the front stock? And are you 100% sure its from the front, like did you listen from out side the truck?

    yeah 100% sure it's from the front, before it was from the front AND back but i pressure washed the shit out of my leaf springs and that went away

    it's very noticable from the front passenger side

    anyone have to replace their balljoints before how much did it run you
