Noise coming from suspension, what is it?

    Over a year ago I replaced the stock suspension with Toytec's Boss system. Unfortunately right after warranty expired the shock started leaking...I had a new one put in a couple months ago.

    Recently, I'm hearing a "squish" sound coming from the front of the truck (driver side). It seems to happen when turning right more than it does turning left?? Turning into my driveway (the curb bump) doesn't really make the sound. Bottom line, there's a sound that shouldn't be there.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    @csuviper at the same time I replaced the suspension I upgraded to Light Racing UCA's, so I don't think it would be that. Would an aftermarket system cause stress on upper/lower ball joints and/or steering rods?? is there away to pinpoint the issue before taking the truck in?? I only have 40K miles on the truck, it's a daily driver (only about 15-20 miles put on each day) and drive pretty conservative.

    Do the SPC UCAs have a grease zirk on the top of the ball joint? Reason I ask is SPC upgraded the ball joint a year or so ago. If you have the old one that could be the problem.

    You're correct, I actually had the old SPC's that weren't greaseable but when the blown stock was replaced I upgraded to the SPC greaseables.
