Default Squeaking Noise From Speed Bump?

Last weekend I was driving to the movies and totally ran through a unmarked, unpainted speed bump that i didnt see probably going 25-30 mph. Right after I hit the speed bump my truck started making a weird squeaking noise from what sounds like under the front drives side wheel. It doesnt do it all the time but it does it enough times I am starting to get worried. Anyone have any ideas?

When was the last time you inspected the front end for wear and tear

Honestly I have never checked the front end. I dont even know what to look for. I bought the truck about 6 months ago and the 4.5" lift was relatively new from what the previous owner told me. Before I bought it I had it checked out by a diesel shop and they didnt mention anything about the front end and said all joints looked good.

I would guess that you've either slightly bent something or spit a rubber out of a joint or shock. Time to become one with your creeper and have a looksee.

Could a spring be binding or loose??. Check your mounting nuts for the springs.
