Hi, I have a 2014 Ram 1500. I installed Bilstein 5100s in the front at 2.1", which were installed about 40k miles ago. A few months ago I noticed that there is a squeak coming the driver's side front wheel on every bump. It seems to go away if it is wet or the suspension is pre-loaded (braking, going around a right hand curve, ect).

Wondering if anybody has any ideas where I can look to figure out what is causing the squeak?

Thanks

Sometimes the Bilstein's are installed wrong with the little washer on top instead of underneath the mounting plate
and issues don't show up till much later after the install.

Thanks for the idea, though I'm pretty sure this is not the issue, I installed them both the same and to the T, following the instructions. Some other people are saying they think the top nut has come loose but I wanted a second opinion before I rip it all apart.
