I’m trying to hunt down a front end creaking noise on my 2019 DCSB TRDOR. Front end has a lift with New-ish JBA UCAs, 2-3yr old Elka 2.5 with no resi, probably 3” lift, no swaybar.
I hit every suspension joint and bushing I could find one by one with Wurth spray lube/grease. Still squeaks.

I hit the cab mounts. Still squeaks.

I hit the skid plate mounts. Squeaks.

The UCAs were lubed ~1000 miles ago.

the noise is present if I grab the front steel bumper and bounce the truck up and down and when I hit a bump or turn the steering wheel.

Any ideas? I’ve lubed everything I find. Thanks!
