noticed the other day that when im driving slow like 5-10mph over uneven terrain there is a squeaking sound coming from my front right side. i greased everything up today and im gonna continue to drive it. what would it be? i lifted up the front of the truck and when i would apply quick pressure to the wheel to turn it then it would squeak.
I was thinking Ball joints would be the culprit. there is very little to no play in the wheel. i thought it was pretty dumb that the upper ball joints were not greasable. would it be easier and time saving to replace the upper control arm? i priced everything out and a pair of upper control arms with new bushings and ball joints already installed is right around $100. what would you do?
I was thinking about getting Moog or Dorman. Masterpro is cheaper but i think it has a limited warranty.
I went to oreillys today and the guy up there has helped me many times and he told me it was probably my upper ball joints since they are non greaseable. He also said that the bushings on the control arms could be worn out and he priced out new loaded control arms for $60 a piece with lifetime warranty, should i just get new control arms? Do you think i should replace the lowers as well? i didnt notice any play in the lowers and they look good yet.
