    Hey guys

    I suddenly am having a creaking sound while turning in my front passenger wheel area. It started up on Saturday and it is getting significantly worse. I ended up topping off my power steering fluid and this did not fix my problem. It only seems to be from the passenger wheel. It makes this noise when i turn to the right, or when I back it off. It is mainly at slower speeds (below 25mph)

    Any input would help. I will he posting a video of the noise tomorrow. If there are any other helpful threads links would be greatly appreciated as I cant seem to find quite what I am hearing.

    Wheel bearings general growl not squeek.

    2wd or 4wd?

    Any modifications?

    Upper control arms?

    Any heims or uniballs?

    Your bushings good?

    The rear leafs are known to get creaky squeaky especially when the silencer pads wear down are you sure it's not a sound being transmitted through the frame and body from the rear?

    Are your core supports worn out? Could be body mounts too or metal to metal contract from the mount bushings being warn.

    I am at 288k miles the wheel bearings were replaced about 35k ago

    its 2wd

    front modifications are 2.5” bilstein 5100’s toytec 610 coils jba off road uca 1 inch wheel spacers tie rod ends have been replaced about 15k miles ago

    Rest of the bushings are stock I believe

    its definitely not the rear leaf springs. That issue comes and goes and it sounds similar but a lot louder and is distinguishable from the rear/front
