    That way is kinda a PINTA. You could get the moog ball joints and white line bushings to rebuild the arm but that requires a press. I just replaced my entire arm for like $250 bucks for a set. I used the moog replacement set and has been fine so far. Probably want to isolate the sound first. You still have sway bar? There’s a strong possibility that it could be a sway bar link.

    Sway bar is still on. If I'm having to replace stuff, might as well get the Whiteline's…..just my mindset anyway. I'll take it to the mechanic next week when I'm off.

    And over a speed bump, but I can make the sound by turning my wheel when parked.

    @Brian422
    What cam tabs did you go with? Might as well get some new ones if I start replacing front end shit :rofl:
    Also, did you do the LCA brace kit? I know someone on here did.....just looking for feedback. I still don't know if I'll need those.

    I agree with Brian I’ve heard the white line bushings can still go to squeaking, and are a pain in the ass to rebuild I’ve got my old lca I was gonna rebuild but decided against it. I bought some used low miles lca for super cheap and that fixed me up, I’ll prolly just buy the moogs if the rc needs any. Try the taco tabs from poly performance that’s what I wanna get, I think Brian has the bison ones I’m not wild about that octagon shape seems like it could still spin.

    Squeaks don't really bother me too much, but I hadn't heard about the PITA to rebuild. I just assumed you'd replace them if they go bad. I'm not even sure how often they go out :D

    I'll just wait and see what the mechanic says and go from there. I suppose I'm just putting the cart before the horse at this point...…..that's the problem with TW. I read so much shit, I think I need it :rofl: :rofl:

    Yea it could be just a swaybar link that’s dried up and squeaking, try spraying those bushings that hold it to the frame.

    It's more of a pop than squeak.

    I did retorque, but I just noticed it this morning on the way to work. The truck drove perfect on the way back from Chattanooga. The truck has 140K on it, so it may very well just be some maintenance needed and the TN trip just helped out :D

    No cam tabs just did the frame brace kit which beefs up the cam tabs. Basically a frame brace and cam tabs kit all in one.

    I couldn't remember what all you've done :rofl: I just don't think I "wheel" hard enough for that stuff. Hell, my cam bolts are probably fine....just read threads about them.....and of course it made me think I need those too :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
