my truck has a horrible, loud squeaking noise coming from the front end anytime i make the suspension move up or down. Ive already greased everything, it has new shocks, upper/lower ball joints, and upper control arm bushings. Ive loosened the bolts on the lower control arms to take the tension off of them and i still hear the squeaking. Ive also pulled loose the sway bar bushings on the frame and control arms and greased them with silicone grease but it still has the noise. Any help please? The only other things i could think of it being are the tie rod ends although i dont think they would make that much noise, the rubber thing on top of the spring, or maybe the lower control arm bushings although i pulled the bolts out one at a time and greased them too. Someone please help me on this because im running out of ideas on how to get rid of this noise

I remember reading a TSB about front end noise complaints and it turned out to be a cab/body issue. You could check for TSB's on Dave Fritz's Ram site.

Did you get the squeaks fixed? Mine does the same thing. I am going to order and change out the control arm bushings and ball joints on mine.

i hade the same problem on my 97 it ended up being the body bolts under the cab were loose because i removed the steps and didnt tighten them down enough.
