Hey guys. Posted this on a few other boards, trying to get some more insight.

Hey guys. Hoping that I can get some help with this annoying chirp that I have been hearing for a while on my truck. It really only happens when I go under 10 miles an hour and mainly when I am entering or exiting driveways or making 45 to 90° turns that have slight dips in the turns. Driving down the road in a straight line or changing lanes doesn’t cause a sound to come up. Even slightly rough roads, there is no chirp. I have done the following things trying to find the source:

-I removed my King 2.5’s and replaced them with Bilstein shocks (temporary) while my Kings 2.5 get rebuilt. They were leaking so I thought that was the source of the chirp, but it is not.
-I greased up all of the zerk fittings on my Thuren leveling kit and Bad Axe brace (sway bar, track bar, end links).
-I needed to replace my brakes anyways, so I replaced the front pads, and greased up all of the clips and areas that needed to be greased.
-I sprayed lithium, grease on the radius arms (stock arms)
-made sure that the body mount bolts were torqued correctly

For the longest time I thought it was coming from the rear, thinking that it was the brake cable going through the control, arms, but it wasn’t. I had my wife drive the truck in and out of the driveway and found out that the chirp was coming from the front. At this point I have no idea where the sound could be coming from because everything has been greased and/replaced.

Any help/suggestions are appreciated.

 
I’d get under and start moving your exhaust around to see if you could replicate that. That dry tinny squeak sounds like an exhaust flexing or rubbing on something to me. Is it aftermarket?
