crazy squeaking on driver side front end??
 
My truck was going fine and I parked it on a Friday. Then on Saturday I spray painted my frame black. Then on Monday I left for work and now the drivers side front wheel is squeaking horribly! Squeaks when I turn bounce it up and down and all the time when I'm driving. I've sprayed everything with grease and it didn't even quite it down a little bit. Any ideas what it could be?? Thanks!

sounds to me like your wheel bearings are shot. do you know how to check them?

Yeah I know how to check my wheel bearings. Jack it up and wiggle the tire right? I don't think its that though because it squeaks while just sitting still if you lift up and push down on that side with your hands.

maybe some squeaky shocks can you pin point where its coming from?

Maybe paint got on a bushing somewhere? That could maybe put a coating over it and squeak...just a guess though

nevermind after closer inspection its the drivers side lower ball joint! Thanks for the replys!!
