Ok I have lubed the whole front end of the as much as I could see but when I go over bumps and such there is and annoying loud squeek comming from the front end. Anyone else have this problem? Also have 3" lift if that makes a difference

do you have any polyurethane bushings? if you do your not supposed to lube them up and if you did they will squeak.

are u sure?? ive been under the impression that you are supposed to grease them if you can or they will squeak, ive seen aftermarket kits that come with grease fittins on them for this purpose, i might be wrong but i know ive seen these kits

well im preety sure of it. i could be wrong but im sure that you only grease the shim not the whole bushing itself.

Its all stock under the truck, Could it be the sway bar bushings? I sprayed some wd40 in there yesterday, it did not help. What else could it be?

Fixed The squeak, I added grease fittings to the tie rod ends and to the upper ball joints. pumped it full of marine grease and no more squeaks!! Anyone know if it is safe to drill and tap into the lower ball joint for a grease fitting? The metal on the bottom A arm joint looks thicker than the top A arm ball joint.

When i got my tires changed over for summer, i was told my lower ball joints were a little worn but i didnt have them replace em yet. Now i hear a real annoying squeek on every little bump. lol i'm gunna grease it up this weekend see if that helps.

did you add a grease fitting to your lower ball joint?

i asked my dad if i could grease the ball joints and he said no they are all sealed up. What do you mean the fitting! sorry not sure what your talking about. i dont have much background knowledge when it comes to suspension! lol

I suppose it does not hurt anything to drill, tap, and ad a zirk (grease) fitting to a sealed ball joint, especially if it's making noise (would need to be replaced anyhow). Most replacement joints come with one anyhow.
