    Hey everyone. Was wondering if anyone else had this issue and if there's any ideas on what it is or on a fix. The squeak sounds like it's coming from the front passenger side. I can get it to squeak by jumping the rear bumper. But when it rains it goes away. Any ideas?

    It's a bushing or some other suspension component. Don't worry about it.

    It stops when it is raining because the contact point gets wet and slippery.

    EDIT*** As far as "fix" goes... Go grab some gel grease (wd40 brand) from an auto store, start applying in areas it could be coming from.

    How many miles are on your truck
    Did you do anything to it recently
    How loud is the squeak
    Are you sure it is a coming from the front


    I've learned to let little odd noises go unless they sound like metal on metal or something else seemingly more mechanically violent. It's a truck dude. It's gonna make noise.

    True. Just a 2 inch lift to level it. But I noticed it before that just less frequently. Only 8k miles. Thanks for the response
