I just had my ball joints replaced under warranty and since then this annoying creaking and squeeking, and after a couple months of it...clunks backing up, turning, and moving ahead at slow speeds. The creeks and squeeks are most apparent when the whole front end is moving up and down, like say going over speedbumps. I tried greasing it (the whole front end) and had it nailed for a week but it came back. I am assuming it is the sway bar bushings but I can't find any poly ones for a 2000 Durango 4x4. In the meantime could someone give me some info on how to pull off the sway bar and maybe grease the bushings in there properly?

I love the truck but I will sell it if I can't get rid of these LOUD creeks and squeeks.

Thanks

 

I agree. My 2000 Durango R/T is now hitting 62k. My front end started to squeak alot, not as bad and barely noticable in warm humid climates. But on cold dry conditions, it is very very noticable and audible! After I got my ball joints replaced under the recall, all the front end squeaks disappeared. But only after a few weeks after the ball joint replacements, the squeaks and such came back. I sprayed all the joints with some silicone spray and it helped somewhat but still cannot get rid of the noise! So I would like to know how to get rid of this noise too!

 

Hi all. I have a 03 durango. Have not had the rcall done yet, or any squeek issues.
I recommend though , for the sway bar bushings, that you remove the bushings
that mount to the front frame. Clean them and apply antiseize lubricant to the inside that
contacts the swaybar. That will git rid of the squeek for a long long time.
