squeaky front end
 
When I built my truck I used a square body front crossmember and A arms. The A arms had new bushings installed. Spindles and other components were new. Aftermarket swaybar has grease nipples where it moves in the rubber bushings. I have a very annoying higher pitched squeekedy squeekedy squeekedy in the front end. It's noticeable on ripply road that's just slightly bouncy. I doesn't squeek on bigger dips in the road or when the front end dipps on moderate braking. I can't easily reproduce it in the shop by bouncing the front end. Any ideas?

Im guessing its the control arm bushing. Are they polyurethane by chance?

Could be the shock bushings

No polyurethane. I bought a can of silicone spray and I’ll start shootin rubber.

I have a shock on a ford and it is doing what you are describing. It is like the rubber is worn a little and the shock can move up and down slightly causing the squeek
