So when I rock the truck back and forth (side to side) I get this kind of a squeak or flexing sound. I am thinking it is coming from some bushings...but am not sure. It seems like it is coming from the front and the back...and makes its way to the cabin (but very quiet, or faint).

I have searched and see that sometimes the guard/cage or the e-brake cable makes this happen? But I think it is some bushings in the suspension.

Can anyone tell me the likely place to grease, and with what type of grease? I just do not want to bring it to the dealer being that it is so far away from me.

Yeah, I have the same problem and was wondering if I should take it to the dealer. I sounds like it could be the suspension.

Make sure all the UCP bolts are tight.Including
the front engine shield.

UCP = Under carriage protection?
