    When I turn all the way to left or right and hit a uneven part of off-road the truck squeaks in the front end. It has done this on stock tires and suspension. Truck does it in the moment you feel lunged forward when you are turning and the tire goes into a pothole or off-road hole. Can’t tell if it’s normal off road noises or something I should grease or replace. Can I diagnosis this from home? I pretty much hate all local shops and the stealership
    I have access too

    Haven’t looked on my 3rd gen but my 1st gen had steering stops between the knuckle and LCA. They put a plastic cap on the stop bolt on the knuckle but when that wears through you have metal to metal contact and you need to grease it from time to time.

    I haven’t yet but it’s only 6 months old.
    I went and checked and it’s a similar setup on 3rd gen but without the adjustable stop bolt.
    You will see it right away on the front of the LCA and a nub cast into the knuckle. Mines getting rusty. Just grease it whenever the sound comes back.
