Squeaking/creaking noise coming from right side axle when turning right

[radicalmgf]

I noticed this back in November, brought it to the dealer back in December and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Couldn't even recreate the sound. It stopped for a little while but is now acting up again. Any ideas? They did say they checked my CV axles and they look fine, apparently. 37K miles on it.

I'm not sure if the cold weather is/could be a factor, it seems to act up mostly when it's 25°F and below outside but I'm not sure if that's coincidental.

If it comes back, maybe check the front suspension rubber bushings, perhaps the ones between the frame and the subframe? I can't clearly identify your particular squeaks, but my '22 truck developed a nasty squeaking when braking and when turning the wheel while parked after the dealership had removed the front subframe in order to replace my blown transmission. After 3 rounds of worsening squeaks and troubleshooting it turned out they had crushed up those bushings by misaligning them when they put everything back in place. Replacing them solved the problem.

Thanks, after looking up other videos of suspension rubber bushings issues it definitely sounds similar, so that might be what it is.

a little silicone spray on the bushings
