Shock bad???

[Dennis McAtee]

2006 Dodge Ram 1500 making a squeaking noise on driver side. When parked I push that side down and it squeaks just like when driving. Is this the shock?

I’d more likely believe you’ve got a dried out ball joint making the noise. If you’ve got greaseable ball joints, get the wheels off and shoot some grease into them. Otherwise, look for torn and damaged rubbers or rust dust radiating outward from a joint.

You were correct. Bad ball joint on the driver’s side. No fitting for grease so new ball joints for me. Thanks again.
