REPLIED

You'll have to have someone listen from under the truck as you work the suspension to reproduce the noise.

Common components to cause that are the ball joints, control arm bushings or Radius arm bushings, especially on the right side for them.

Thanks, but I only here the sqeeking when the truck is in motion going over bumps. Can a mechanic still tell the problem by doing like you just said, or would he need to test drive it?

ACCEPTED

A trained technician will know how to spot the telltale signs and may be able to spot something without duplicating the noise or they may be able to recognize the noise while driving.
