Pins were greased. I'm narrowing down to the caliper or hub. Hubs are less than a year old. That caliper recently had an issue. It dropped last December while traveling 700 miles up north. Had it towed to a shop. Caliper was still in good shape. I made sure the shop properly greased and torqued. All was well until recently. Considering the series of events, I'm thinking it's the caliper in some way shape or form.

Well, locked 4 hi. Still the same. IWE eliminated. I'll probably remove the caliper this weekend to see if something sticks out to me. Just curious what could cause it to creak. (If it's the culprit)

Front end is solid. No cracked boots, etc. Everything else is solid, no play. I have the entire front end suspension kit at the house, due to the high mileage. Just got to have time to install. Working seven days a week doesn't allow that. lol

It's aggravating. It's more prone to creaking after driving for a little while if that means anything. I can take my foot, push on the tire and make it creak.

Sounds to me like it's most likely a suspension issue...
