The clicking noise sounds like an axle. I have bad squeaking on mine and I have yet to find out what is causing the noise. I have replaced ball joints and even greased areas where I think it might be causing the noise.

Could be a CV joint, check the rubber boots to see if they are intact. If one is damaged, then you've probably found your problem.

Thanks for the reply guys, just have to wait to the weekend to verify those parts.

I had the same issue with mine.

Old squeaky bed sound was resolved by spraying WD-40 into every joint and over the shocks and springs. Wouldn't hurt to grease some of the suspension components up as well. Probably just a little dry up there.

My front end also had a slight squeak coming from the front driver side wheel. It would only occur at low speeds <15mph. It seemed to squeak with the bumps in the road, or getting in and out would produce a slight squeak. Upon doing some brake service, I sprayed some WD-40 on to the hub and up into the shock. Sound is gone and now there are no squeaks to be had.

Quick and easy fix.

I sprayed WD all over and I am still getting some squeaks. Has anybody had any squeaking from the rears before? I am wondering if I am missing a joint or 2.

03ExFX4 · Jul 30, 2015

WD40 cured my squeaks. Looks like you probably have a squeak that is beyond where the WD40 can reach. I would assume a u-joint, cv-joint, or ball joint that is on its way out. Maybe a Control Arm Bushing. Could also be the shocks depending on their age as well.

Don't forget sway bar bushings and end links.
