Scary Creaking Squeeking.

[JackLikesTrucks]

Well, now that the underside has finally dried out from the winter salt, the front end is groaning really LOUD on turns in/out of parking spaces, etc..

Before I oil spray the truck for the summer, is there a way to tap grease fittings into the front sway bar brackets and get the grease into right areas?

Any known rub or squeek places I should concentrate when I oil spray?

Is the bed aluminum? I know the underframing seems not...

Nope its all american steel... unless you have the step side which I believe is fiberglass.

If mine was that bad, I would take the sway bars/tie rods off, and replace the bushings. Do a super thorough pressure wash job on your undercarriage before you apply any oil to anything. Make sure you get rid of as much salt as humanly possible.
