I am having a bad squeak from my front driver's side suspension that I can not figure it. It has gradually gotten louder and worse over the past month. It makes noise if I sit still and turn the wheel side to side. It makes noise when I drive and barley hit bumps. The ball joints are good and so is the wheel bearing. At home, I disconnected the sway bar and shock and it still made the noise so its neither one of those. I doused the area around the bottom of the spring with oil to think it was a squeaking spring and it still did not help but it sounds like it is coming from this area. I sprayed the bushings down on the lower control arm where they mount to the truck and that did not help. I am lost on this one.

I can take a video maybe tomorrow if it isn't raining.

I am just getting tired of the noise and it is starting to bug the heck out of me. Any idea of which way to go is appreciated.

 

steering rack?

 

Mine was the boot on the top of the coil springs. The rubber was shot and the meatl spring squeaked nonstop. And If thats not it...yeah steering rack

 

It doesnt sound like it is coming from the steering rack. Definetly the driver's side and dealing with the lower control arm and spring. Could be the rubber onto. How can I check without ripping the spring out?
