    King 2.5’s with adjusters from accutune front and rear, 88 rotors rear add a leaf, Camburg X-joint UCA’s, Factory style trd pro 16” wheels with 0 offset, 285/75/16 KO2’s, pro grille, Front bumper viper cut, trd front skid plate, full RCI under skid plates, Cali raised trail sliders, exhaust cut dump, KDMax 10.0 tune
    This noise is driving me absolutely insane. It’s coming from the front passenger side. I took it back to 88 rotors and they told me the UCA’s were dry and so they greased them up. It’s been a week now and it’s still making this noise. It’s mainly when I’m going slower and going over imperfections in the road. Also when I’m turning side to side. Does anyone know what it could be or has anyone had this problem? I’m running King 2.5’s with Camburg x joint UCA’s.

    Common issue. Had mine in 4 or 5 times until the dealer acknowledged it. They replaced my body mount bushings as that is what they suspected but the squeak was still there. My truck is stock so not sure if its tge same issue. They wound up replacing both front struts and did a new alignment. All under warranty. They told me one side was leaking and the squeak came from the springs rubbing on the strut. I'm not sure exactly what was wrong but it's gone now and I have a new front end. Started at 5k. Fixed at 20k. Keep having them document the noise if you're under warranty.

    I’d totally do that but unfortunately I don’t have a jack, stands, or a pry bar haha.

    Yeah I’m not sure if it’s the shocks since they’re so new and they’re kings. I’m taking it to the dealership today for an oil change and I’ll let them know about the noise and I’ll see what they say. I’m not getting my hopes up though…. Lol

    Update for this noise if anyone has this squeak in the future. Took forever to figure out what it was! It ended up being the front radiator support body mount bushing. They got replaced and no more squeaking!
