Question Front Suspension Squeek

OK, here's the symptoms. Mild, fairly high-pitched squeeking from the front suspension area on a straight away when going over small bumps, cracks or expansion joints on pavement. It only happens when the truck/suspension is warm. It sounds somewhat like rubber/metal contact or maybe metal/metal contact. It does not occur off-road or over bigger bumps, i.e. curbs, potholes. I've searched this thread for similar problems and have found loose shock mounts and loose tortion-bar bushing threads. I'll check these out tonight, but does anybody have any other ideas?

Thanks in advance - Reavis

Reavis. I had some anoying squeaks from the front of the truck, but it was most noticible when I came to a stop. Dealer replaced upper and lower ball joints. Now I have a very minor squeak from the rear suspension. Not enough to bother me though.
