Front end squeak when going over bumps

I was wondering if anyone has experienced a squeak when going over bumps at low speeds? The truck only has 17K and I grease everything, all 3 fitting's ???, every 3K. I did a search on this forum and only came up with a possible steering column cuprit. I will check that but I think it is comming from the front end.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Joe

Re:Front end squeak when going over bumps

Mine has done that since new..Has over 100k on it now, its a bushing in one of the track bars..Some do it, some don't. I spray wd-40 on them every once in awile if it gets bad. That has kept them quiet. Mine will really squeak if I go over a series of rollers in the sand dunes, but has never caused a problem.

Mine does the same thing and greasing the fittings has not made a difference and I have right at 16K now. I know of others that have similar squeaks but never resulted in any problems

I had it in my 97, I put in the Energy Suspension greasable sway bar bushings and keep them greased, no more noise.<br><br>BBD

Mine does that. Sounds like it's coming from right behind the firewall on the drivers side. Done that since new and I've got 36K on mine.

Is this only on 4X4's? I noticed my began to squeak after about 15k. I thought it was a loose exhaust. I guess I will check the front end.
