Since building up the 4runner, and my wife needing a reliable, capable vehicle for work, the beast has developed a horrible squeaking on the suspension. When installing the ICON suspension and upgraded UCAs (LR) I have, over time, been getting a noisy-ass front end when hitting the skinny pedal and when maneuvering over bumps, dips, and curbs. I am thinking I need greasable zirks in the front somewhere to alleviate some of the noise. I would do this myself but as I am living in a different state than the beast and my wife ( do not confuse the both :P) I wanted to know if anyone has any experience or expertise to help the squeaks leave the truck? Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated and/or if anyone wants to make a few bucks in diagnosing and fixing...? Let me know if you can help in any way!

Spray the upper and lower spherical bearings of the shocks with lithium grease. If it goes away for a day or two and comes back, your bearings are toast and need to be replaced.
 
I appreciate the advice. i will advise my wife to do this and see if it resumes...I'm hoping the ICONs aren't showing too much wear!
