    Can someone please tell me what this noise could be. Don’t know if I could upload vid so I just put it on YouTube but it’s a faint squeak that comes and goes and it’s driving me nuts. Sometimes it’s real quiet and other times it’s obnoxiously loud. Maybe the upper control arm bushings or ball joint? I just greased them for the first time in a while but still made no difference in the noise. Any input is appreciated.

    It could be video quality but it sounds like something in the cab or glovebox to me

    Only reason I don’t think it’s that is because it’s sounds like it’s 100% in the driver side wheel well. Doesn’t make the noise on passenger side or where glove box is.

    Loose lugnuts? Any new parts on the truck as far as suspension or anything?

    Sounds like your body mounts are shot. Look that up here, several threads about it. Sounds like metal on metal chirping going over bumps. Happened to mine around 7000 miles. Took 3 trips to the dealer for them the find it.

    If you shake the truck left and right by pushing on the fenders, can you hear it? If so, most likely the core support mounts are shot. I've replaced a few dozen over the last few years.

    Fuckin A it is the body mount. Went outside and put my phone right under it while I jumped on my sliders and the noise is coming right from the front driver one. Thanks a lot. I need to replace asap.

    Lol so turns out upon further investigation it was my driver side ball joint squeaking even though I just greased it. (I guess I thought I did but my grease gun was broken). Bought a better one greased the shit out of it and the noise is gone. Pretty stupid of me to not realize earlier but glad I got it figured out. Front mounts are still good.
