My truck squeaks like a rubber duck on roids !!!

[Spray-Bomb]

Like the title says, my truck squeaks really really bad

It's all coming from the front end, what do I need to do to solve this

It squeaks going over bumps & it'll even squeak when you steer it while sitting still

Help !!!

[cdowns]

spray bomb filled with lubricant and sprayed in the general direction of squeaks sometimes helps/ then theres also whats called a grease gun

[special-K]

That`s what it sounds like.Your front end needs a lube job.Time to slap some grease into those zerks.Hopefully they`re not froze up from lack of use.

[raoul.duke]

make sure your kick panel vents are closed too. Mine squeak like hell when they're open...gotta get some silicone spray on those someday....

[Imacarguytoo]

Mine does it really bad too. I greased all but 1 fitting and it still sounds the same. So i dont know what to do.

[Spray-Bomb]

I thought thats all I needed to do, I just wanted to know for sure

I'll try and get under there today & get all that I see greased

Thanks guys

They're 40 year old trucks? Grease all fittings. Look for loose stuff under there. If all is good, turn up the radio

That said, my truck doesn't have any squeaks at all, but she does have rattles

No radio

But I do have loud exhaust & you can still here them over that

spray silicone lubricant at the upper A-frame bushings. Assuming it is a 2wd.

[67ChevyRedneck]

Jack the truck up by the frame (not the A-arm) and check for excessive movement/wear. Your balljoints or other suspension parts could be bad.

[fun in dirt]

I had a Chevelle that did the same thing... it was the A-arm bushings.

Mine squeaked like yours; I just finished replacing all the front end parts and bushings and no more squeaks. Hopefully yours is a simpler fix.

[ante_up13]

a suspension rebuild erased my squeaks too.

[jimfulco]

Can you make it squeak by bouncing it? If so, get under the hood and get someone to bounce it while you try to home in on where it's coming from. Might have to get underneath the front end, also.

Spray-lube diagnosis is possible, but be sure you use the proper lube if you find something squeaking. Wouldn't want to lube steel A-frame bushings with WD-40, right? Not permanenly, anyway.

Agree with above: Upper A-Arm bushings was where my squeak was. Put the front of the truck on jack stands (Wheels off ground), this will let you get to all the zerks a little easier, and gets more grease into all those moving parts by taking the load off.

Thanks for all the tips guys

Yesterday I got under it & greased / lubed every thing I could see
It helped a lot, but it still squeaks
So I think I'll try some of the suggestions above

I really hope I don't have to rebuild me front

[Jayss109]

Mine went away after the front end rebuild, but now I can hear the hood springs (I Think?!) sqeaking. <sigh> Oh well, atleast its not nearly as loud, or annoying!!

[Spray-Bomb]

Well I'm gonna rebuild my front & bag it soon, so my squeaks shall be all gone soon

[Shane]

something else to think about and check, coil springs will sometimes squeak once they become worn on the ends that go down into the lower control arm and the upper end that goes up into the crossmember.

scary story I was checking out a friends 69 and it squeaked when he turned the steering wheel. We found a broken bolt on his steering box and the other two were loose. He had just driven 50 miles on the interstate! Lucky man.

[WLPTMP]

poly bushing will squeak if they arent lubed when installed
also does it do it when turning or when u hit a bump?

[Spray-Bomb]

Both
