    Went wheeling the other day and now I hear a squeak coming from the passenger side suspension. I do have an old man emu lift so I am maybe thinking UCA? I pressured washed the suspension and it went away for a bit but an hour later it is back.

    Heres a link of the sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip9loDGHrMw

    I would start by re-torquing everything. Did you remove the UCA for the install?

    No I didn't remove them, I dropped the LCA to put the struts in. I am going to try that tomorrow and maybe get a wrench on the UCA bolts.

    Check your control arm bushings, upper and lower. Lots of threads on here about squeaking coming from there. Seems like the best remedy is to clean and grease them.

    I meant applying grease to the bushings themselves, not the control arms.
