Have a 2016 2500 that has a bad squeak on the passenger side when turning to the right and hitting a bump. Does not do it when turning left. Mechanic definitely heard it, but with limited time didn't locate the problem. Anyone else have this problem?

Could be a bad/loose passenger front shock.
I had my rear driver side shock replaced at under 1k miles due to leaking. Was making no noise though. Stock shocks are crap.
I had a 14 Wrangler that would squeak in the front over any little bump. Turned out to be a bad front shock.
One thing I enjoy about this all coil suspension is how quiet it is over any kind of bump. Hope you get it figured out and post back when you do.

That was my suggestion, I had the same noise, it took my dealer a while to figure it out

OMG, I had this *exact* problem on my 1500, especially when it was cold.
Turns out it was the hood bushing - little pieces of black rubber that keep the hood from "falling" too far into the engine bay.
Greased up both bushings with a liberal dab of silicone grease and it's been silent for over a year since.
The bushings are on either side of the hood, up from the headlights on the "body rail" area. They keep the hood from contacting the body metal to metal. They're really quite hard, especially when it gets colder.

I had a bad squeak as well when I first got my ram last summer. Turns out, it was the spare tire rubbing against the heat shield for the exhaust. It drove me crazy for a while. Like others have said, sometimes it is something really simple. I hope you find it, because squeaks drive me insane!
