Stop spraying rubber bushings, what spray did you use?



It's most likely not your PS steering bushings, turning the wheel and hearing the noise doesn't necessarily relate.



See previous comment:
Mouse squeak or barn door creak?

You can recreate the noise by rocking the truck? Get someone else to rock the truck while you get down below and try to figure it out.

Or, we can keep taking guesses and accomplish nothing =]
I'm using silicon spray, already had someone rock the truck, can't locate it

spray and pray is the way

It's almost like a mattress squeak. It makes noise from just me getting in and out of the truck.
 
I just went through this with my 2005 LX. I was convinced it was the LCA bushings. I replaced all the ball joints first. a few needed to be replaced due to ripped boots. But it didnt fix the problem. I trouble shot the creaking using my mechanics stethoscope and could also feel the creak vibrating in the LCA. I went so far as to buy new LCAs and #2 bushings. then I found the UCA bushings were moving too. those were easier than the lowers, so I did them first. and that fixed my creaking!!
