Creaking coming from frame

I have a 1996 f150 reg cab short box, recently it started creaking when turning the steering wheel, starting, stopping, and really any movement of the truck at all. It this the rivits as mentioned in a previous post or is it something else? If it is rivits, which ones? Thanks!!!

Ya, sounds like the same thing.

Had the same problem on my '95. The rivets that hold the radius
arm bushing bracket to the frame were the culprits. Cut/torch them off and replace with grade 5 or grade 8 bolts. All will be well.


Hope this helps.
