Hey guys, just noticed about a week or so ago that my front end started squeaking big time. Started on the drivers side and now its on both sides. Weird thing is, it started when the temp dropped to the low 40's and went away for a day or two when it warmed up, but now it's doing it again. At first, I thought I needed to maybe lube things up front, but I couldnt find any ports on the front end of the chassis to lube. Am I blind, are they hard to find, or are they just not there?

 

You wont find any. Our truck's susppension is sealed unless you have after market components that you can lube..

 

Ya my front and back suspension squeaks when its cold out, Metal doesn't like to flex in the cold weather.

 

Mine has started to do the same...since the temp dropped.
I just had an alignment done, nothing funny up front

 

Hey thanks guys, I was just curious, cuz last winter I had no issues, so hopefully if its just a lube issue I can get it taken care of cuz god its annoying!!!

 

dakotas are horrible about ball joints goin bad and no grease fittings there shot by 75k in most cases hope this help there not hard to replace if you have done any before

 

What a coincidence jay, cuz Im at about 73K. Ill have to check my ***** and see if their joints are shot.

 

Let us know how your ***** are. My front end has gone arthritic also. I'm pretty sure its control arm bushings. I learned to drive on a 1971 Ford Torino that made exactly the same noises, creaky, and clunky. Its giving me flashbacks
