    Ok the truck's drivin me crazy. :Grenade:Something in the driver's front corner, suspension wise, is sqeeking. It makes the noise on every bump. What could be the cause of this? Any ideas welcomed. Also the top half of my sway bar end link on the passenger side has disconnected itself, do i have to go buy a new end link or just a bolt to fix it?

    just buy new end link bushings and bolts. it's a $20 and if it squeaks when you hit a bump it's most likely your balljoints going out. I had the same problem, every little bump it would squeak like crazy. Time to replace your uppers A arms and lower balljoints, make sure to get the ones with grease fittings on them.

    i hope you can work on trucks, cause a tire shop will rip you a new one to put ball joints on, parts are less then 70 bucks and if you can put them on your self, thats all you would have tied up in it, you would have to rent a ball joint puller
