Wicked creek!

[mcamzr]

I've got a wicked creek comming from the right front of my 05 4x4. I put it in the air and took off the wheel and jack up and lower the suspension and it is loud but I can't tell where it is comming from. I have silicone sprayed everything that moves. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for the help.

creek? or squeal? I had really bad balljoint for almost two years... the worst squeals I have ever heard... and they would creek after I got out of the truck when I parked it. I replaced all the balljoints and bushings on my suspension as well as the tierods.. it is as quiet as can be now... try replacing the balljoints or lower control arm bushings? this may help since these were the troublesome parts for my suspension.

That may be. I notice it makes a smaller creek when I turn the wheel.

If the creek is occuring when you are turning your wheels left to right, I would look at the balljoints.
