squeaky front end
When I built my truck I used a square body front crossmember and A arms. The A arms had new bushings installed. Spindles and other components were new. Aftermarket swaybar has grease nipples where it moves in the rubber bushings. I have a very annoying higher pitched squeekedy squeekedy squeekedy in the front end. It's noticeable on ripply road that's just slightly bouncy. I doesn't squeek on bigger dips in the road or when the front end dipps on moderate braking. I can't easily reproduce it in the shop by bouncing the front end. Any ideas?

Re: squeaky front end
Im guessing its the control arm bushing. Are they polyurethane by chance?

Re: squeaky front end
Could be the shock bushings

No polyurethane. I bought a can of silicone spray and I’ll start shootin rubber.

Re: squeaky front end
I have a shock on a ford and it is doing what you are describing. It is like the rubber is worn a little and the shock can move up and down slightly causing the squeek
