Driver side front end noise
I have a squeaking nosie coming from the driver side, I can hear it going over bumps, or when I jump on the driver side bumper.
I think I have located at the Stabilizer bar link bushing. I had the kids jumping on the front of the truck and it sound like it's comming from the stab bar link bushing
The bushing looks good and solid. I'm I looking at repairs down the road or can I just use some sort of spray to cure it.
P.S. Also while I was under the truck I was checking all the links & bars, and I noticed that when I grab the Drag link bar there is some play. I can twist the bar about a 1/4 in or so is this normal?
thanks

Just replace the bushings, there not expensive.The down links are really prone to go bad. As for the drag link, a little twisting is ok. To see if it's bad, have someone start the truck up and you crawl under it and look at all your tie-rod ends and drag links as they slowly turn the steering wheel back and forth. This way you can ckeck for any have loose movement.
