Ok here it goes. In the front drivers side wheel well, there is a squeak/grind type noise when I turn the wheels and when I hit bumps. I had someone look at it and they it was just the upper ball joint so I just replaced that (boot was blown). I have it all done but there is still the squeak like I said. Does anyone have any idea what it would be? Could it be a shock or something else? Any help would be great thanks!!

 

stick your head under there and have a fatty bounce on the rig . then you can pin point the sound . imo prob a shock ? how many miles you have on the rig?

 

maybe the wheel bearing is starting to/or is all the way gone?

 

I got just over 88000 on it.....and the wheel bearing might be cuz it did move a little the last I checked it...couple weeks ago.

 

but with the wheel bearing, just pushing down on the truck....it does still squeak....so could it really be the wheel bearing???

 

It could but the wheel bearing would have to be gone far enough that it is just basically floating in there..i've had it happen to me on an old ford i used to have

 

k thanks guys....I found that both the upper and lower ball joint boots were blown so replaced both of them and then the squeak was from the lower control arm bushings(all on driver side)....replaced them and ahhh....peace and quiet, lol. They were both really seized up...so thanks again for the help. Next up will be replacing the front brakes...getting pretty close to those wear bars on the pads...cant go without them
