Right Front Squeak
Hello,
I'm new to the group and I have a problem. I have a '97 LS 4WD Blazer that has a very annoying squeak in the area of the right front suspension. It sounds almost like rubber or a very squeaky spring. I can replicate the noise by pushing down on the right front bumper. I see some grease zerts in the area - is it possible it just needs some grease? I love the vehicle - I bought it the day I met my wife and I'd like to keep them both for awhile! Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Maynard

Its quite possible that the bushings have dried out. Take some WD40 and spray down one bushing at a time seeing if the noise goes away. I would start with the bushings on the sway bar where the sway bar is attached to the frame. Then move on to where the upper and lower a-arm attach to the frame.

Maynard James Keenan??? Could need a lube job, could also be ball joints, shocks, worn out bushings, etc... Without sticking my head under it, thats the best advice I can give.

Shoot all the bushings up front with some silicone lube spray and it should stop it

Maybe balljoints thats what i would check,it sucks when u wait off and one seperates while your driving and your tire folds in,I would know this it happened to me
