Tommorow I'm putting my ranger on the lift to install four new tires, a full service and to find that SQUEEK:bawling:

I got new front shocks but I think it is coming from the upper A arm on the passengers side. Anyone else seen this??? Other suggestions???

It's a '98 2 wheel peel.

The new upper control arms I put in while doing ball joints squeeks and groans like crazy. Probably has something to do with the cheap bushings they used in the new arms. I going to rip everything back apart pretty soon and install some polyurethane bushings from Energy Suspension.

Let us know what you find out tomorrow.

Well I didn't do much to try and remove the squeek. Both boots on my lower ball joints are ripped. :bawling: It will not be long and they will both need to be replaced. I think I will look into those polyurethane bushings and do it all at once. Thanks for the tip on the poly bushings.
