Squeaking noise when going over bumps or standing on the step rails.

[legend007]

Every once in a while while stopping at a light, turning, or even getting in and out of the Gladiator there will be a squeaking noise coming from under the truck. I assumed it was a bushing or shocks. after it sits for a bit it goes away but comes back. Do the bushings need to be greased?

I'd check our sway bar end link rubber. Mine were squeeking really bad, was embarrassing. I loosed them up and injected grease around the bar with a needle fitting on my grease gun and fixed it right up.

I've seen that the Mojave shocks, maybe others, develop a squeak. Cleaning and spraying the shafts with silicone helps sometimes.
Mine makes various noises. It really doesn't bother me.

On mine it was the rear sway bar bushings where they come to the frame.
I removed the whole bar and lubricated all the rubber bushings with... Mothers ceramic wax and it makes no noise now.
(I found this trick on my wife's LR4 where the doors meet rubber it squeaks and the ceramic wax made it go away.)

Mine was the front passenger side sway bar link loose about 2 month ago, retorqued and noise disappeared.
