Squeak Issue

So I recently started hearing that my truck makes a squeak noice.. every time I turn or break I hear it squeak. Even when I’m not moving I make a slight turn on the wheel and I hear it. I’m kinda freaking out because idk what in the world it is. Or if it’s normal.
I do have icon stage 4 and their tubular uca’s.

 

Sounds like your lift. Could be a lot of things, bushings, bolts on the UCA's, etc. I'd start there.

 

I could start by greasing the uca’s and cheackjng all the bolts are tight.
I wouldn’t have to redo an alignment would I?

 

Shouldn't. And I would start there. I know my 15 started squeaking a year into my lift and was the bushings. Good luck, it's definitely a PITA trying to find a squeak in that area.

 

But does it squeak with a creak?

 

Being so new I doubt it, but worth listening to the leaf springs. I went through my whole front end trying to find a squeak and it ended up being my leafs.

 

Not necessarily, he lifted it and new upper control arms, could easily be a from new components upfront and improper install / bushings /grease / etc.

But yes if he added an AAL they squeak like a mofo especially with a little dirt / sand /etc.

 

I’m gonna loosen the through bold for the uca and grease them, I don’t wanna have to take off the whole thing. It was a pain in the ass to get it through. And re cheack every bold I put on.
How would I go about greasing the AAL?

 

Its been a few years but I remember adding shims and grease on them or in the vicinity when I did mine, just a thin layer.

 

Thank you, hopefully this resolved the squeak.

 

Fingers crossed for ya bud. Love the lift look, hate the little nuances. Keep us posted.

 

Thank you man, appreciate it. And I will.

 

You might already know this but if you loosen the UCA bolt to grease, make sure to use red loctite and re torque with the wheels on the ground.

edit: it's probably where your squeak is in the front... poly bushings squeak like a mofo.

 

Ahh yes I do have the red loctite but that didn’t cross my mind right now. Thank you.
What is the factory torque spec for the wheels?

 

hhhmmm, for the lug nuts?

 

83 lbs for the lugs

 

Thanks man

 

Make sure to properly hand torque lol, poor guy a bit back destroyed his using an impact.

 

My UCAs squeak and my leaf springs squeak. Its driving me up the freaking wall.


Question because I have no idea need advice
If I take my UCAs off and re-grease or replace the bushings. Will I need to get an alignment?
