Squeak driving me nuts!

yamaha26 · May 4, 2017

My 2014 RAM 4wd has developed a squeak on the left front. It does it going over any type of bump. It seems to quit then I make a turn to the right though. I've had someone push the truck up and down while I laid under it. But I can not for the life of me figure out where it's coming from. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi yamaha26,

I have a leveling kit on my truck so I'm sure this voids any kind of warranty.

Could it be that the leveling kit is not seated well? Mine squeaks too after i had the leveling kit put in and I just raise the volume on the radio so I dont hear it.

I bought it used last year and the leveling kit was on it when I got it. It just started squeaking about a month ago. I'm guessing that's where the noise is coming from though. I'm going to do some more investigating this weekend on it.

So this may not be you as I don't know what mode you have. My Bumper was rubbing the bumper cap on any little bump. I thought it was suspension component for the longest time and I almost slit my wrists (the wrong way just for attention of course). Finally I laid under my truck and pressed it up and down and realized it was the bumper on the bumper cap. I put a little painters tap under the spots that touched and all is perfect! May be worth a shot. If you have a sport then keep searching cause I have no clue.

Mine is the Express model. I'm going to get under it this weekend and check it out further. Thanks for the advice!

Anxious to hear what you find out, I have a 15 express, leveled with bilsteins and I have a squeak coming from the drivers front as well...I have sprayed everything I can think of with Wd-40 to try to pinpoint the problem and can't find it. It is driving me nuts as well lol you're not the only one. I've had multiple people under it and can't figure it out, I ordered aftermarket uca thinking it may be the ball joint??

I sprayed some PB Blaster in the hole in the top of the strut mount and now the noise is gone. So far so good. It's been a week now.
