Need help with front end creaking
I did but I didn't have much left so it's a possibility that I didn't use enough. I'm going to grab some more after work, lube them and drive it to a meeting tonight and see what happens.
Im curious about it too. I changed my hub assembly out last night, and got it all back together, drove it 5 miles with no noise, and then all of a sudden after sitting for a few hours while I was at work and left for lunch, it started making the same exact noise as the video you found and posted.
Well I took the tie rod off, put the tire back on and lowered the truck and it still made the creak. I also lubed all the bushings up with lithium spray and no change.
djbeck88, As I said earlier it's hard for me to pinpoint where it's coming from since I can feel the creak everywhere and the sound echos but I really feel it's coming from hub and CV Joint area. So it's possible we have the same problem. Also since mine will only creak with the tire on and on the ground maybe it's putting just a little torque on the hub causing it?
Since it seems to make the creak more when it 70 plus degrees out I may not be able to do much over the next week since it's going to be between 30 and 60 degrees. I'll keep updating though. However I am getting to the point of giving up and taking it somewhere even though I really don't want to.

I'm going to be tearing mine back apart this weekend to try and locate it. It's the same for me, it echoes and I can't really make it do it unless the wheel is on the ground. But I assume it's the hub or cv also. Mine didn't make the noise un till I changed out my hub. I will report back if I can figure it out so don't loose hope yet haha
upper ball joint, i have the same truck that had the same noise. i thought impossible as i just changed the upper ball joint six months earlier. i replaced it and no more noise. mine would do it when you bounce the truck and when you turn the wheel either way. it would drive me nuts in the drive through.
good luck
