[QUOTE="Dennis Shelley, post: 997795, member: 58803"] Have a similar but more noisy issue on my 2001 (4 X4). Replaced the sway bar links (one was broke), replaced the tie rods ends. Greased the ball joints, Sprayed silicone on all bushings. No change. Noise occurs when pushing down on front bumper, more pronounced when steering left of right and always occurrs over any bump. Replaced the ball joints 100,000 miles ago (have 182,000 now) might be due for new ones. Too cold here now to tear down the front end. Will replace much of the front suspension next spring. You might take the ST in for an alignment. If the ball joints are worn or something else is loose and an alignment is not possible the mechanic will point to the bad component. That's all for now [/QUOTE]
