I have chirping in the front I think it might be ball joint.

I just had a 2.5" lift done and now I have this problem. 3 of them have grease nipples and one does not. I think that it might be the culprit. Or the shocks. They will be changed in a few days when I receive the shipment.

What is the best ball joint to buy?

Can anybody help?

 

A chirp would lead me to check the hub bearing. Have you jacked it up and checked for any play in the wheel?

 

Go to O'reillys and get moog they are the best.

 

no i have not check for play. i just lifted it on friday 2.5" key and leaf springs in the back.
New shock rancho in back and this week new rancho in the front.

 

Had that problem too, not from a lift just from age and LOTS of miles. I went and replaced EVERYTHING. (shocks, spring isolators, all the bushings, sway bar end links and bushings, tie rod ends inner and outter, idler arm and piman arm). After all that I changed the upper control arms with ball joints and then the lower ball joints. It ended up being the lower ball joints. That's the only way to describe it too....a chirp. MOOG is the best in my opinion as well.

 

I also changed my inner and outter wheel bearings and hubs. They were bad but they were making a humming sound that would get louder in turns. I never got a chirp or pop from them but that can happen if they are not greased and torqued down properly. Just jack it up and grab the tire from the bottom and top and wiggle it back and forth and it it is bad or not torqued it with click and shimmy.
