front end squeaking after spacer lift

[AKbrener]

I got the same issue, will look into the bushings, would be awesome to know that its a cheap bushing rather than some other more expensive part. amazing what crappy old rubber can sound like.. seriously sounds like metal on metal

Ive got the same problem. 160k on my b****. Probably need new bushings any way. never really thought that could be where the noise is coming from. But its a cheap replacement so might as well try it.
I always thought it was my struts going south, they probably are since im always on the job sites bouncing around left and right. not too smooth of a ride anymore on and off road

well gentlemen ... replaced my sway bar bushings with the energy suspension grease able ones ... loaded them with grease BUT ... i still have the same sound ... any other suggestions? keep in mind this started after the lift

Mine squeak too. I wonder if some WD-40 in there would quiet those things down.

Or maybe the new BTF control arms will solve it

 

[armysoldier30263]

I thought about drilling a pilot hole in the bushing then injecting some grease in thehole ... just a thought ... what do you think?

 

[Ronin8002]

might work. I'd try wd-40 first though.

 

[armysoldier30263]

Yeah but my god that squeak is so annoying lol

my front end squeaked as well ater my spacer lift after months of trying to troubleshoot it I noticed the end links had a angle to them which is not normal so I ordered longer bolts to use for the end links and greased the bushings with silicone now no more squeaking....
