    Hey guys. Hoping you could offer some insight. Lately my front end have been sounds creeky mostly when I'm going slow and making sharp turns or going up driveways and that sort. Wonder if anyone has had this or knows what I mean. Couple months ago I put on 5100 and ome 884. But had no problems. Just recently started hearing this. Thanks in advanced!

    Upper and Lower Control arm bushings make these noises when they are dry.

    Ok cool. And you just spray it directly in them? Don't need to remove anything?

    Another area you might want to check, especially if you have adjusted the front end ride height is the swaybar making contact with the lower coil rest. I know that,s where mine came from and required the swaybar drop brackets from Toytech. Fixed my squeek/creek issue. Good luck and Happy Holidays.
