PLEASE HELP!! I have a very anoying squeeking fron under my truck somewhere. Sounds like its from the front, possobly under the cab, but more in the front. Its not my shocks because i just got new ranchos, could it be my bushings? Its not the breaks. Its just real anoying and kinda embarassing when I'm driving slow enough threw town to hear it! PLEAE HELP!!
Ohh its a 4x4 if that helps any...

Its most likely your bushings. Mine is doing the same thing and Im taking it to the dealership friday, I looked under my truck at my control arms and sure enough they are bone dry which is causing them to squeak. My ball joint bushings are dry too and everytime I take a turn my front end pops and cracks really loud (cant be a good thing). But its under warranty so its all taken care of. Check your control arm bushings and see if they need lube, Im not saying that is the problem but it couldnt hurt to check. Good luck. -Justin

Well, mine won't be under warranty but i'll take a look under the truck today. Are these hard to replace? I've seen where they are when I change the breaks and whatnot, but never really paid that much attention to it. Thanks for anyones advice/help!

They arent hard but, time consuming. You have to jack up the truck and remove the rim/tire. You just remove your whole control arm and the bushings will be easy to get to then. You can lube um up if they are salvageable; if not just replace them. Good luck.

Well, this will definitly be a new exsperiance. I've never had the control arm of a 4x4 off before. A 2wheel drive truck is much easyer because of how its set up. But well see. I'll see what the old man says about it first. He usually knows whats best. Thanks for your help thou!
