    I got rear ended back in November and evere since I have had this horrible squeaking coming from the front. When I inspected the front it sounded like it was coming from the radiator support bushing area. The body shop said no, that it was coming from the sway bar. So I bought the trd sway bar as well as new bushing. This helped majority of the squeaking, but the truck still squeaks. I have researched this forum but all say the shock, Lbj/Lca or sway bar bushings. I have elka 2.5 ifp 3 inch lift with bds uca. I know my Lbj need to be replaced but it sound like it's coming from the radiator supprt bushing.
    Any ideas?

    My radiator support bushing definitely had a squeak. I can’t remember if I wrapped it with some Teflon tape or what, but that silenced it.

    Then why would the body shop say that it can't be The Radiator support bushing......

    It might not be, lol. I’m just saying it’s a possibility and you might want to check it yourself instead of relying on the body shop. It’s not too hard to pull the grille and check it out.
