Your UCA are hitting the spring....check to rubber boot our the ball joint on that side....i would guess it's ripped and all the grease is gone....

Time to start over.....Don't get the All-Pro's...they squeek from the start.....

dont know if it is a sign of going bad persay, could just need a little wd40 but a TC UCA upgrade is always a plus and not too expensive either

My bet is it's the Sway bar rubbing on the coil spring. Mine does that I really need to order some collars to stop that.
