    I have this VERY loud creaking noise coming from the front of my truck. I did some pretty heavy mudding last Saturday night, cleaned the truck the next morning, and the noise started on Monday. It makes the sound when you turn the wheel either direction, and when you bounce the front end.

    I just replaced the shocks, upper ball joints, and tie rods yesterday. The lower ball joints are less than a year old.

    I sprayed lubricating oil on every moving part, and it made no difference at all.

    Can anyone give me an idea what else could be causing this?

    I couldn't continue filming and bounce the truck, but it makes the same noise with suspension travel.

    Nevermind. It turned to be the fairly new balljoint. Replaced under O'reillys lifetime warranty and the noise is gone.
