    My right front shock is squeaking it's a$$ off. I've tried tightening the nut, spraying lube on it, etc...

    Has anyone else had this problem, and found a long term solution?

    if you have new UCA's, it could be the bushings...

    But if its the shock.. then my first geuss would be the lower mount.. clean and lube that, then see if it goes away..

    Just started experiencing the same thing. I have the Toytec ULK... stock UCAs (haven't gotten around to putting the LRs on yet). I noticed a lot of creaking and squeaking from the front passenger side when I move the truck up and down when it's parked (or when it's going over bumps).

    Saturday, driving on the road about 35mph, I noticed a high pitched noise coming from the same area. Almost like a wet fan belt sound or metal on metal.

    I'm due for a tire rotation, so I'll have the guys that installed the kit check it out.

    Have them retorque all the front end nuts and bolts. I had a creak 400 miles or so after my lift so I retorqued and all is quite now.
