Front End Squeak - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**68Custom** · 08-28-2003, 03:05 PM

I was wondering if there is a special grease for control arm shaft bushings. I have this horrible squeak and have had it ever since i rebuilt my front end and i can't get it to stop

Ive tried greasing, using liquid lubricant but nothing seems to work... any ideas on what could be causing this problem?!? Any help is appreciated!

check your upper and lower shock mounts

If you have a sway bar, check the bolts again for tightness. Also check the busings for wear

This sounds stupid but, check your inner fender bolts.

No, that doesn't sound stupid. Mine drove me crazy with that rattley-squeak until I found out a couple were loose.

...and yes, the shock mounts can make noise too. Very annoying.

Cobalt, I was hoping that I wasn't the only one that this had happened to!
