sway bar bushings and/or endlinks..... check your spare to make sure it is tight..... there are also rubber spring isolators on top of your springs up front that will squeak too..... try spraying silicone on each until it subsides or goes away....... HTH

I agree with the sway bar . . . the end links or the bushings.

I went on a mission to stop squeeks this last summer, and have successfully made them all go away.



Worst culpit - Front Swaybar bushings.

Then the back

Then the tailgate.



I also had a loose lowering block, and that stopped a small rattle I heard.



No more squeeks!

Everyime I take it in for anything (which isnt that often) but I usually ask them to grease the swaybars, and have never been charged once for this, lol.

Ball joints could also be the problem .Have someone bouncd on each side of the car and put your hand on the ball joint. If it is you can inject grease in the rubber cover with a grease gun and needle purchased at auto store.

I had a major issue with squeaking from the rear of the Trac and also alittle knocking every now and than.



Issue was the Leaf Spring Assembly was broken and seized. When it was seized it squeaked... when the weather warmed up and it got wet... that is when the knocking started.





Good luck

This may sound kinda silly but try spraying the rear leaf springs with WD40...

I had major squeeking last summer and my ride starting going to shit...I changed my shocks and all was well.

If you spray your Leaf Springs with wd40 and you notice a knocking.... Check the mounts on the Leaf Springs.



Cheers
