Squeaking Suspension

Cocoabean · Jan 2, 2024

In the recent months I have been hearing a squeaking sound coming from the front end of the truck. My truck is a 2022 with 17k miles on it. I installed my ReadyLift leveling kit at around 2k miles. I retightened the suspension last week and nothing was more than a few pounds loose. The squeaking seems to happen at lower speeds (15-30mph). I know the Rancho shocks are shit on this truck, but I can't imagine they are blown out already. Anyone have any ideas on what I should look at or try next? I will likely swap for Bilstein shocks once the Ranchos go out, but I am hoping for a less expensive solution first.

I have to ask, did you tighten the control arms at working height/load?

I put them under some tension when I first installed the kit, but not under full height and load. I will check these out as soon as I have time. I appreciate the response.

Ok so I rechecked everything at the working height/load and everything was tightened properly. I then added more grease to the UCA bushing, and that seems to have solved the problem. The squeaking is gone after adding the additional grease.
