Squeaking UCA... Maybe?
I've developed a squeak that occurs as my front suspension travels over bumps (small bumps make some noise and large bumps make louder noise). I think it's probably my JBA UCAs on my right side, but I'm not sure.

I know I installed the concave washers on my right side UCA backwards, but would that cause it to noticeably squeak? Just wanted to check before I dive back in to disassemble the UCA and flip those washers.

Thanks for the help,
Jon

You should try to rule out your front sway bar bushings first, remove them and apply some grease on the inside then reinstall. That's what I did and my squeak went away, so I'm ordering bushings

I put new bushings on only a couple thousand miles ago, but haven't regreased. I'll check that out.

Problem fixed: FYSA having the two concave washers flipped backwards can cause squeaking from your UCA. It certainly did in my case.
