So it's been about two weeks since I completely rebuilt my front end and the creaking begins. I replaced everything control arms upper and lower new ball joints of course new shocks new inner and outer tie rod ends. everything except for springs. It seems to creak only when I turn at almost full lock and only on the passenger side. Also it creaks when I take off from a read light or stop. I'm at a loss hear I can't seem to pinpoint it any suggestions ideas would be greatly appreciated. :slap:

I would check right front axle joint if not that I would make sure everything is tight that u have replaced maybe a faulty part or something loosened up.

I might add it's a 2wd and yeah I just did that today and regreased everything. It sounds like it's coming from the shock or coil spring.

Poly or rubber bushings? Poly will squeak I think, but last longer. Or maybe it's the rubber that squeaks lol.

I should've asked if it was 2wd and yes the front bushings do squeak I hope that's all it is. How many miles on it u may need check shock out if it sounds like its coming from there some of my buds had to replace theirs with only 30-40k miles on there 3rd gens along with ball joints.

Yeah I hope it's bushing then I'll climb user and hit each one with grease an see if I can pinpoint it. It just sound more like a metal rubbing on metal or creak more than a squeak maybe a video of the sound. Thanks for the help. :favorites13:
