Front End Squeek Noise Just Started Could It Be My Leveling Kit Install ??

Puchased my 2005 Screw about seven months ago and had the Truxx 2.5 level kit installed (38,000 miles). Yesterday my truck started to make some front end sqeeking noise. I think I have narrowed it down to the driverside lower control arm back bushing , I tried to spray some W-D40 around all the suspention points since ther are no grease fitings (I coud be whistling in the wind) but the noise seemed to disapate . It squeeks when I rock the truck up and down or turn the steering wheel back and forth 1".
Any Ideas ????????

check if the following are tight:
upper ball bearing
sway bar
lower coil-over bolt
upper coil-over bolts (x3)

sounds to me like your sway bar is loose. I don't think the leveling kit caused it, but you did have to loosen some integral front components. So it's better safe than sorry. Make sure they're tight
