    My truck has developed a squeak in the front suspension in the past month or so. Like driving down the road in the neighborhood, the smallest bumps or seams in the road cause it to squeak. Pretty sure it is the front...like 99% sure. I have taken the wheel off a couple times to inspect. No leaks or anything loose. Used brake cleaner (removes grease/oil, quick dry, doesn't leave behind any residue) and wiped the boots and metallic areas around the joints. Still squeaks!

    I have 2" lift, struts have been rebuilt like a year ago...so they aren't suspect. Stock LCA/UCA's.

    I know, turn up the radio volume. If I missed someone posting this before, please link me over to the solution. Any help appreciated.

    Signed, frustrated

    Try to take a video of the noise and post it. It's super hard to try to guess what the noise is without hearing it.

    I had the same "speed bump" noise. Mine comes and goes, so I never figured it out

    If you can recreate the noise while its parked by pushing up and down on the front, then use a mechanic's stethoscope to probe around for the noise.

    I will attempt to get a video this weekend. I know it was vague, I’ll be better. :anonymous:
