Sqeaky suspension lift

[Kimberly]

I've had a 2" lift for about a year and it has starting squeaking. I'm not thrilled about having to take it back to the garage for fixing and would rather do it myself since this could be ongoing with wheeling. Any suggestions?

If the upper and lower control arm brackets has zerk fittings on it , lube it.

My Jeep just starts squeaking every so often. Just get someone to bounce on the bumper while you crawl around underneath and find the squeak - it normally ends up being the bushings (the rubber looking things). I just squirt some silicone spray on them and they are good for another 6 months

Thanks guys! Every little bit helps! I took her to the garage and they said it was the front suspension sway bar links.

Are they going to replace them, or just hit them with some silicone spray?

The garage that services the Jeep won't touch the after-market suspension. So I called the garage that put on the lift. He says the sway bar links get dusty so shoot them WD40. So I did and the squeak is gone. Not the best solution but it will do until my mentor shows me what to grease, when and how often.

Pick up a can of silicone spray, it'll keep the bushings quieter longer.
