She's a squeaking

[OffroadTaco4x4]

My trucks suspension has been squeaking really bad for about 2 weeks now. I greased all the ball joints today and drove around for a while and it still squeaks, any suggestions?

Could be the control arm bushings.

I sprayed all them down with lube too

what do you mean, "greased your ball joints?"

could be one or more of many things, wheres the squeak coming from?

 

[OffroadTaco4x4]

I'm almost sure it's coming from the front, so I greased the upper and lower ball joint, tie rod joint and sway bar link joints

 

[Konaborne]

do you have the stock bj's?

theyre not serviceable

I put a needle on the grease gun and stuck it in the rubber casing and filled it up.

 

[Konaborne]

you realize they're sealed, right? So by adding a needle and puncturing the seal means you've allowed a way for dirt and water to enter the bj..which is no bueno

Yeah I realize that, and I filled them up all the way with grease, and I will do this monthly, most likely they already had tears in them, in fact I know they did. And when they are filled with grease no water or dirt can get in them. But hey this just gives me a reason to go to uni ball ucas
