Front end is really squeeky and noisy

My truck has been really squeeky and noisy, ever since I got it. All of the shocks were done, so I replaced those with KYB GR2's and it rides better, but still has all of the noises. It also has all new tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm and swaybar hardware. If you push down on either corner of the front end, it sounds like an old mattress. The truck is stock height, but will be getting lowered this weekend. What's making all of the noise? Control arm bushings? You can hear me coming from about 2 blocks away...

either take your control arms out and grease the hinges and bushings, or just spray wd-40 on for a temporary fix. lol

I have had 2 mazda's, and both were squeaky, replacing the lower ball joints on one fixed it, and I replaced both upper and lowers on my current one, and the squeak went away.

It's either the ball joints or Upper Control Arm bushings... THE UCA bushings have a "plug" that can be removed and a 6mm (if I remember right) zerk fitting can be inserted.

I'd try that first because it's cheap and easy. then do the ball joints, might as well do all four since you'll have it apart and will need a front end alignment afterward.

Here are some details on how to replace the UCA bushings....
