    none yet, but do I intend to change that
    I washed my truck last night and this morning I hear a good sounding squeak rolling over bumps. I got my pressure washer up in the wheel well pretty good, but I can't see how that would cause a squeak.

    I cannot recreate it when jumping on the bumper in a parking lot. I have new DK UCA and LCA with less than 1500 miles on them so I found it hard to believe the bushings need to be greased. Running fox 2.5 C/O no RR that were also rebuilt 1500 miles ago.

    I've seen the posts about the front mounts, but the squeak does not have a metal to metal sound. It almost sounds like it's something in the shock as it has that "air movement" squeak if that makes sense. I also don't think it's my icon leaf pack as I hear the squeak when the front wheels roll over the bump.

    could be the sway bar bushings. hit it with some silicone spray and see what happens. they tend to squeak after getting dirty.

    I have a front end squeak going over speed bumps once in a while.

    I didn't really notice until I misjudged the size of a speedbump one night and likely changed the shape of my spine forever bouncing over it, and thought I fucked something up so I listened to it super paranoid for the next week. Nope...sometimes sqeak, sometimes not.

    Sprayed sway bar bushings, but didn't change much.

    Called dirt king and basically was told that I more than likely got water/moisture in the LCA Delrin bushings during me washing the truck. I was told squeak should go away once it drys out
