Look at your balljoints .if u dont have greese fittings poke a small hole in rubber that the straw from the wd40 bearly fits in and spray. If it helps or sound goes away in total time to be looking at baljoints. What happens the greese from the joint dries up and the ball squeaks from the plastic gussher bearing.. I have done this on many of trucks and cars alike.
You were right. It ended up being passenger side lower ball joint was out of grease and just a coincidence it would go away shortly after I sprayed the bushings.
Spray/soak it with an aerosol silicone, or this stuff: unlike newish/modern era Fluid Film formulation, LloydsAD3000 does not contain solvents and unlike almost all petroleum type products is SAFE FOR RUBBER (contains "wool wax"/lanolin)

I've been using Fluid Film for awhile and I just finished spraying most if not all of the rubber under my Dakota.
It says "The long lasting product contains no solvents." http://www.fluid-film.com/products/properties.html
The last time I applied it was 3 years ago - everything looks good.
Do you have any info/link about Fluid Film and car rubber parts? I can't find any info.
Thanks
This also from the site - I would guess the rubber on autos is oil resistant - but I don't know.
"Effect on Rubber: ASTM D-471 @ ± 158°F 70 hours None on neoprene and buna-n. May cause swelling on non oil-resistant rubber goods."
Buna-n - It is used in the automotive and aeronautical industry to make fuel and oil handling hoses, seals, and grommets, since ordinary rubbers cannot be used.
Wouldn't sweat about FF (myself, first noticed the change a few/3? yrs ago); now, for what I do it's Lloyds. Here's excerpt from link
AD3000 is compatible with electrical connectors, rubber bushings, moldings, plastic and fiberglass.
... My info about FF is same as yours, sound like a disclaimer.
... Mostly I was trying to steer OP away from grease/general petroleum stuff as non destructive/better choices are available
Glad u found the problem. I had a friend with a gmc canyon did same thing we sprayed every bushing finally sprayed balljoints through the boots and problem fixed. Its annoying more then anything makes your truck look like a pile of shhhh.
