Squeaky Upper Control Arm
Well... my driverside upper control arm is really starting to get loud. Ive tried spraying the crap out of it with Silicone Spray and still no dice. So what would I do to fix this. Its coming from the bushing.

Oh, I cant hear it from inside with my stereo on. I just dont want to be in some hunk of crap driving through somewhere and have a bushing thats louder than crap. It just doesnt mesh well with the rest of the truck

Are you sure it is the front bushings. I had a squeak in my truck for the longest time. I oiled/greased sprayed the heck out of everything in the front end but no go. I was 100% sure it was coming from the front. I finally decided to check the rear shocks and that was the problem. One of the rear shock mount bolts had come loose. Worth a try if you haven't done it already.
