ok. so I had a shop check my ball joints etc and they said they were tight with no play..so I'm at a loss.

I get a squeak with every little bump when I'm driving...even slowly. It's driving me nuts!!!

I'm looking for ideas of what to check next. would old shocks do this? I mean I'm squeaking my way down every road and it's not only embarrassing but annoying as hell. ideas???

I had a very bad squeak over every single bump... It was the grill. I had the grill replaced under warranty because of this squeak. That was just under 10k miles ago, and the squeak is back on this new grill.

For mine, if you wiggle the components of the grill, you can replicate the sound. I may take it apart and see what I can do, if it continues after that, I'll have to look into aftermarket grill options.

Another culprit is the bushings, try spraying one at a time with some kind of lubricant, then test drive.

How about the rear driver's side brake line? Mine rubs on the hanger and makes a horrible squeaking noise (18' power wagon). I've seen other people wrap the hanger/bracket in electrical tape to stop the squeak.

I found the same thing. Had the wife jump on the open tailgate and it was the hanger.

Agree with above, start by checking the bushings.
