same here man...ive pretty much narrowed it to a bad shock...
Try this....go outside and open your windows and grip the handle bar from the inside and pull back and forth....rock the truck and see if you have any squeaking...thats what i have
My 05 has started doing this in the last week from the drivers front. Im thinking its the shock. My passenger swaybar link broke and I was hoping it was just the drivers side swaybar link going bad from trying to compensate. But I replaced both links today and the noise is still there.
Yeah like I said too I also think its a shock for me...whenever I rock the truck from the outside i can hear it coming from the coil area behind the rotors
Take off your front wheels, its that simple, have a look first. Maybe its a broken end link? If its causing a rub, that will make a squeek, also visually inspect everything else you have knowledge on. Then give it some flex, have a listen. You will find it.
There isnt THAT much going on up there.
STRUTS is the most expensive guess to take lol. I'd try to find out first. Considering end links are like 25 bucks, and control arm bushings are like $5. I wouldnt just go straight for the struts until i was really sure.
My ranger had that same problem. It was a bad ball-joint. Open the door and use it as leverage to rock to truck. Have a friend do the rocking while you are underneath diagnosing the problem.
Front end Squueking when on bumpy surfaces easly make noise
