ive noticed the sound a few times when im at the drive thru at a restaurant, it sounds like a metal creeking sound, and i cant find it. it only really seems to do it when it is cold outside (lower than 10degrees) just wondering if anyone has experienced this problem

 

Hello, this is my first reply so hope I do it right.......my 98 2wd 1/2 ton used to do that....ended up replacing the ball joints and it cleared it up......almost drove me nuts trying to find out the cause....hope this helps

 

In my truck, It ws my balljoints.... Same dry, metal on metal screaching noise.....

 

Could be brakes dragging or a u-joint.

 

could be a tie rod end also, try having someone turn the wheel back and forth slowly while u put ur hands on the diff parts see if u can feel a grinding on the part

 

When its cold outside try pushing down and release the left or right front fenders at the tire, it is usually the ball joints,

 

My stabilizer shock creaks like crazy. I lube it with lithium grease and it stops for a while.
