I know...its normal to have some weird squeeking noises on a bagged ride but its getting annoying! Its only happening on the drivers front side whenever I hit a bump or my front is maxed out. Im thinking its either the bushings on the shocks or correct me if im wrong but the floater cup in there. What can I do to isolate or possibly figure out wtf is causing this squeeking noise?

it's probably not the cups...your uppers are bolted in, the lowers are the only ones that float. Grease everything..ball joints, bushings.....you drive an s-10..they sqeek..lol.

Well for the shock bushings I have been using some silicone spray on grease. What do you reccomend for all the other parts? Do I need to take stuff off to grease it like the ball joints and shit? Im telling you...i think its coming from the shock area. It really only happens when I hit a quick bump...hmmm...

That could be from the control arm bushings Frank...or maybe even the bumpstops if you still have em

The bushings should have a zerk fitting on them or if they dont they have a bolt you remove and put a zerk in its place then just use a greese gun.

Frank, grease everything. If you still have sound coming from the front, then I'll bet its the bushing on the lower arms. Get underneath and loosen the forward and aft bolt for the lower arm, but don't remove. No need to. Just give it a quick shot of WD40 just to lube the bushing a little. Or use grease, your call. I'd probably use grease. Those flanges on the frame that the lower arms attach to, they kinda squeaze in and clamp the bushing andf sleeve of the lower arms when you tighten them. By loosening them, you relax them and you can do this. |

So your talking about loosening the LCA bolts and getting grease inside them and tightening them back up? |

Found the damn problem. Upper shock mount bolt on the drivers side keeps rubbing the damn fender. Im going to have to cut that shit out or beat it some.
