yeah i had the same problem.....over speed bumps it scrubbed and made a squeaking sound. I took it to the dealer and they said it was a common from, they did a little grinding and it is gone...I think it was the control arm or something rubbing as the suspension was traveling up and down

we used some stuff called "Sil-Glyde"...comes in a blue Napa tube....it's waterproof so thats the main reason we used it, plus it doesn't gum up or freeze....some pretty good stuff....i use it quite a bit on various things on the truck....like the brake pedal squeeking lol

Just thought I would add my two sence in also. I had my neighbor take a look at my dodge because it just started doing the exact same thing. The verdict was the upper and lower ball joints are shot i.e ripped and torn gaskets and dry as a bone. I'm going to try and get a price on them, don't know if I can get the individual OEM ball joint by its self or if I have to get the the whole control arm. Good luck with yours.
