I've noticing a loud squeak getting louder for a little over a week now and I couldn't take it anymore. My dad and I started spraying everything with WD40 and as we were doing it we noticed some scraping along the shaft of the shock. I'm pretty sure this is where the squeak is comng from, but won't know for sure till it's at the house. I have the 2" AS and have had it one for around a year and this is the first issue I've had up front. I'm wondering if it is doing it or something else. I also a couple days ago took the truck in the sand and "played" around but afterwards I sprayed everything down.

I'd just hate if when I take the truck to the dealer for its 15,000 service that they try to blame the spacer and tell me I'm SOL.

 

I went down and took some pics. I forgot to mention that I produce the squeak noise when you turn the wheel while your in park.

This is the scrape I saw on the shaft of the shock.

 

Wow that was alot of replies

I pulled off my front left tire and greased up all my joints. I'm starting to think the noise is coming from the joint where the steering arm connects to the lower control arm. The noise occurs whenever I hit a bump or turn the wheel. Even if the truck is in park and I wiggle the steering wheel I can hear it.

Has anyone else had this squeak before?

 

Off topic but when my 97 F150 made that squeaking noise when you moved the steering wheel it was a bad tie rod end.

 

Thank's NASSTY

I can't believe I forgot to mention this, but about a week ago on the way home driving down the beach I got on the sand and "played" around with the 4 wheel drive. I washed the whole under carriage off, but could sand be contributing factor to this noise?
