Front End Squeak When Cold How To Remedy?


Recommended Posts

Posted

My truck has a front end squeak/creak when it is cold outside (below about 40F) Based on other threads here It sounds like it is caused by the sway bar bushings. Is there anything I can do to lubricate them? I was thinking something along the lines of a graphite dry lube as I am concerned about a oil based lube potentially attacking the bushing material. My truck is still under the extended warranty but I don't want to fight with the dealer unless I have to. I am also installing 5100's soon so I want to address a potential issue before voiding my front end suspension warranty if needed.

You likely can get the bushings you need from RockAuto for the price of two cans of spray lube.putting them on really isn't that hard at all probably take about a half an hour looks challenging but it's very simple.
