thank you so much! I've had it in to 3 shops and no one can figure out what to do. they've charged me for wheel bearings and suggested all new control arms. 40k miles.. you literally did the same test i did to make it squeak. thank you, I didn't even know WD40 made that!

Sorry you had to deal with a bunch of people that couldn’t fix your problem. Glad it was helpful!

My '03 1500 is having that same squeaking problem. I'll try this and see if it works. Thanks for the video!

Appreciate you watching! Hopefully work for you also!

Thanks for the vid. Will try this on my tacoma. Just started making this noise at 150K miles. Mine are doing it from age, judging from the exterior of your truck, yours were probably so new they were squeaky clean! 😂

lol. Mine is a 2019 with about 60,000 miles. I sprayed them again about a month later and haven’t done it since. So it worked well for me. Thank you for watching.

It worked great in my application. Applied it again about a month later and haven’t had any issues since then. Thanks for watching!

My Hummer just developed that creak after a camping (off road) trip. Walmart bound.

Did you get it fixed?

Mine is doing h the same thing. Did you ever replace the bushings? Did the noise come back???

@diywise 2 ай бұрын

No, the noise has gone away. I applied it heavily the first time and had to do it again about a month later. The noise has not come back.

I tried everything nothing worked until I replaced the LOWER ball joint. It 100 percent sounds like rubber on rubber but it was not. This was on my 7” lifted Chevy Silverado 2017

@saltysteel3996 20 күн бұрын

@@robcbr91 That noise is almost always a bad ball joint or bad tie rod end.

@ryanbarfield5540 28 күн бұрын

With the technology that we have today why haven’t they a better type of bushing that doesn’t squeak

@saltysteel3996 20 күн бұрын

Every time I've had that noise it was either a bad tie rod or a bad ball joint.

Not in this circumstance, haven’t had any issues since it was sprayed a couple times.

Doesn’t the upper control arm have a nipple for greese or is that just something else ?

@ryanbarfield5540 28 күн бұрын

The grease fittings are for ball joints on the control arms. A lot of the newer vehicles have sealed ball joints that can’t be greased

@saltysteel3996 20 күн бұрын

@@ryanbarfield5540 And the ball joints have plastic cups now (garbage). Replace them with grease-able metal-on-metal ball joints like Moog Problem Solvers.

Was the answer “don’t buy a Chrysler”? Jk. My ford has these squeaks too. Going in Thursday to have them fixed. Annoying!

Lasted a couple months and coated it a little more one time in certain areas and it has been good ever since.

@diywise 2 ай бұрын

Were you able to isolate exactly where the noise was coming from? Mine was coming from the rubber bushings making contact with the metal. I sprayed them pretty heavily and made sure it worked its way in…

@sczzlbtt Ай бұрын

Able to access the upper control arm from the engine bay? What in the mickey mouse phuk

@vulcanman64 22 күн бұрын

Won’t last long, you’ll be needing a new upper control arm soon.

@diywise 20 күн бұрын

Not the case, it is newer. From what I read a lot of the rubber that they used in certain control arms will produce this noise.

My Tacoma developed a horrible squeek in the LCA bushing at 170K miles. I lubed the bushing twice with liquid wrench and the squeeking stopped temporarily. The WD40 product looks like it may last longer but I think the squeeking is likely to return after a period of time. Still, its worth a try until you can get around to replacing the bushings.

@diywise 2 күн бұрын

With a 170,000 miles that would be expected to replace by then. They are shot by then
