    Over the past couple of weeks the truck has developed a creak/squeak that only occurs when I turn to the right. Where do you think the noise is coming from? I have tried to determine it for my self but I have come up short. I bought some dry lubricant from pep boys and sprayed down the bushing, ball joints, and the spindle to see if the noise went away but it failed..... Help me this noise is driving me crazy:crazy::crazy::crazy:

    Sounds like one of the ball joints or the outer tie rod end has dried out. Don't bother to try to relube it once it get to that point it should be replaced. If you have someone steer the wheel for you you can CAREFULLY feel the area near each of these components. Usually when it makes that sound there will be a vibration in that area. JUST DONT PUT YOUR HAND WHERE IT CAN BE CRUSHED

    My bet is on the strut mount wearing against the shock piston rod.
