suspension squek

[Sam Morris]

1999 Chevy silverado. Load squek from under front left. Is this lower ball joint. Squeks when you push down on bumper and while driving.

not sure if it’d be ball joint squeaking with an up/down motion. i’d probably look at the control arm bushings. put a pry bar on them and make sure there is no play in them. if there is any play in them or they appear worn and torn then consider bushing replacement. if they appear good, then try hittin’ them with some silicone spray (some have also suggested white lithium grease) and see if the noise goes away.

It’s possible it could be a ball joint. This video may help.
