Leafs and body mounts both squeak on these rigs. Give it a good power washing underneath see if that stops it for a little while.

I have had a squeaky ball joint before, only on tiny bumps on that side that went bad. The squeak was pretty loud after a while, like a chirp.

Thanks Doc. Replacing the lower ball joints did the trick. Nice and quiet now!

They are easy to get to and you can use some dry spray silicone on the rubber parts.
This procedure has worked for me
Way more than 6.

You didn't have to replace the bcm? lol

Nice Work! Great call Doc!

On a side note, if any mechanic that works for me, misdiagnoses..... the customer never pays for that repair, and/or any further repair is free until the issue is fixed. I've had mechanics working for me, that were guessers and parts throwers.. their employment didn't last long with me.
