I picked up a needle grease gun fitting and pumped all the seals with grease. Not many grease fittings on original equipment.

I sprayed down all the bushings with PB Lithium Grease spray. The sound is gone.

I will be getting it inspected in early April so I will have my guy check it all out to make sure it is all safe.

@dddearing If the ends of those rubber bushings are bent outward, they are worn out and can cause extra unnecessary sway.

Thanks,

Mine sounds pretty close, I'm going to grease one thing at a time and check.

I let you know what I end up with.

Love the vehicle, well worth the effort!

@dddearing Take a real hard look at those rubber bushings. If you are up there in miles, its probably time to replace them. Mine were extremely worn. The factory rubber ones are cheap to replace. I bought poly ones for $22.

What was the cause of the squeak?

Thanks

@dddearing I think it may have been my front sway bar bushings and endlinks. I haven't had the noise since it was warmer out. I just replaced both the bushings and the endlinks though. We will see if its fixed now.

@gammainn Yeah, I am trying to figure out where exactly its coming from.
