I have 67 1/2 ton and it is squeaking quite a lot when i go over bumps and when i turn. What part of the suspenion do u think is doing this? thanks

my guess would be A arm bushings or ball joints. you might shoot a little grease in all the points in the front suspension......if any of the zerks wont take grease, you may have to remove the zerk & replace it (also clean the hole as best you can with a small pick. good luck

could be your shocks. or a broken rivet on a crossmember

It's the upper a-arm bushings. WD-40 until you get them replaced
Good Luck,
Matthew

My guess would be A-arm bushings as well.

Bounce the front end up and down with the hood open and you should be able to hear where its coming from.

Might also want to grease the panhard rod in the rear...I've got poly bushings and this quieted it down.

Its a long shot but check your frame behind the steering box for cracks.

Make shure your rear coil springs are tight. the previous owner of my truck used a wheelbearing and a pice of plate for a lower spring cup it squeaked pretty bad. I cant understand why.
