I have a 2014 Ram 1500 with a Zone 6" lift kit with bilstiens shocks at 2.8".
I get a squeak every time I hit any kind of bump, even the most smallest of bumps and holes. It's extremely annoying and it makes me not want to drive my truck. What do you think could cause it? I changed the sway bar bushings thinking it would resolve the problem but it didn't. I also changed the UCA's . I feel like it's coming from the passenger side of the truck. Could it be the bilstien shock? I have about 20,000 miles on them. PLEASE HELP. :(

My friend had an embarrassing squeak on his truck. Any movement of the suspension and it would start screaming. But his was a f-150. Took forever to locate it even though we could shake the truck and hear it very clearly. Turns out it was the balljoint. I'd start there if it was my truck.

Also if you have chrome bumpers sometimes the upper valance and the chrome bumper can rub together and make a horrible squeaking noise. I've had this happen on two of my Ram 1500s 2011 and 2013. it usually was rubbing right under the outside edge of the headlights.

Dude I got the same damn issue same damn side it's not the bumper or the actual suspension but the bushings that hold the main assembly for your wheel93230b091e21a98f2e1667152cdd3507.jpga88210e6c21745b439a92e5d2276a70d.jpg

The upper strut mounts on my truck squeaked for some reason.

Is it a squeaking sound or a creeking type sound? Did you just get the lift installed?

It's a loud squeak , like when I pass thru little bumps it goes squeak, squeak, squeak, and so on until I get on smooth road again. 've had the lift for about a year and a half. Even on the highway way the squeaks get closer and multiply.
