I am going to be putting new brakes on today anyway, so I will check everything out again.

Ok, I finally broke down and fixed "the squeak. Took all of 30 minutes, including getting the tools out and consuming one Corona while I was as it. Removed the swingarm to frame bushings, two bolts on each side at the frame, 13mm. Bushings are split so they slide right off the bar. Cleaned all of the "stuff" that had accumulated in there, some of it had crusted. Lubed with a light coat of grease, and put them back in. Squeak gone. New bushings are about $8.00 each. F150's came with two different swaybar diameters in the front, 27mm and 31mm so measure before ordering. Most parts houses will have to order them. If the squeak comes back, I will just stick new ones in. This is more of an experiment than anything else...

Thanks Everyone, I have sprayed everything I could imagine that would make the squeaking but it keeps coming back. I will try removing the bushings and never seizing them.
