Loud creaking in my front end :(
 
For a few weeks now I've been hearing a loud annoying creaking noise in my front end. Whenever the suspension is compressed or decompressed it creaks badly. I have brand new control arm bushings, brand new idler arm and pitman arm, brand new ball joints, and a 3 day old front end alignment. Im out of ideas, the only things I can think of are possibly the shocks or maybe some mud got lodged in a moving part. I need help, the noise really doesnt help my temper and I dont wanna take my aggresion out on my prescious truck...lol Any ideas would be great! thanks!

Make sure your sway bar links arent broken or have bad bushings cause that could do it to.

Mine did the same thing last year. It was the shocks. Just get some good ones and replace them all. Its coming from the front passenger side right?
