Front end squeek driving me crazy

My front end has been getting more and more squeeky as time goes on. It's starting to drive me crazy. It used to be just from time to time but now it's almost constant. I spend a lot of time driving across farmers fields and corn stubble at slow speeds so I'm sure you can imagine how annoying this squeek is getting. My strut retainer cushion thing certainly doesn't look right.
In these videos all I'm doing is hitting the side of the tire to make the noise.
Any ideas?

Brake dust shield?

 

Good suggestion. I hopped back under there to see if it was coming from the dust shield... It's not though. Seems like it's coming from the top of the shock somewhere.

 

Have you tried to spray all the dirt and mud off ?

 

A month or so ago I tried that with no success. Worth trying again I suppose

 

Look like you might want to replace the top hat and bushings on your shocks.

If that doesn't solve the squeaking, at least you've performed some (apparently) needed maintenance.

You can also go through and spray some silicone lube or something one by one on each joint/bushing/bearing until it goes away. Once the squeaking goes away, you know which one to work on or replace.

 

Is it just me, or does it look like your shock is shot? The top of the shock top should be in the center of the three bolts on the top and it looks like it is off by about an inch. I know you have a spacer lift, could that be the problem? Extra wear and tear on the shock due to the spacer?

 

All great suggestions thanks.
I only bought this truck back in February. I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't even know this truck had a spacer lift. With my current living situation and lack of space and tools I may just take her in and get someone with the right tools and know-how to get the suspension right again.

 

You need to apply a force to what ever part or parts that are causing the squeaking.
I’ve used a large blunt flat screw driver with success by prying on different parts and places.
Obviously you don’t want cause damage to any parts. Take it easy. Eventually you’ll find the correct part by hearing a change in the squeak.
I’d start near or at the parts with bushing first.
Having some one to shake the truck and assist is a lot of help.

Hope you find the problem. Noises can be very annoying.

 

I used to have to grease the hood latch on my old T-100 every couple of months to stop an annoying squeak.

 

What’s the best lube/ grease that I should be using ?

 

looks like u need some new struts and coil spring bushings homie

 

I use silicon spray cause it doesn't attract dirt

 

Matches my leaf spring squeaks... Sorry, I know, that's no help. Annoying for sure.

 

Mine was coming from my hood latch, grease will fix it

 

I think you're right. Passanger side doesn't look much better.
