Passenger side squeaking.....
#1
I had some squeaking coming from the front end so I replaced my shocks because I knew those were old. Now the squeak is still there and driving me crazy. Sounds like someone stepping on a wood floor whenever I hit a bump or turn. I think its the upper control arm bushings so I was wondering if anyone has had any similar issues before I order parts. Im not sure if i should just replace the bushings or the entire shaft.

I hope the new shocks I just bought cures it, but I'm having my doubts now.

I posted the same complaint not too long ago and the answer I got was: 'it is probably ball joints'. Another response was it could be the sway bar bushings. I would try lubing the upper and lower ball joints to see if that helps pin down the squeak. The two front sway bar bushings for the 1 5/16" size is $9.50 at O'Rielly's. I am seeing on the forum mostly problems with the ball joints.

Def not b-joints or sway bar bushings on mine. I greased everything real well and the squeak isn't coming from the sway bar area. It seems like it's coming from the torsion bars. IDK, it's been too cold out to look at it any farther.

Strange.... today I noticed when I'm turning to the left there's no squeaking at all. Straight and turning to the right I still have the squeaks and it seems like it's getting worse.
Anybody here have a clue as what could be causing it??
