grease your upper control arm bushings. and your bump
stops. and if you'd like add zerk fittings to the upper control
arms. that'll fix your problems.

I noticed the same thing with my o5, after crawling under it and not finding the "squeek" I started under the hood and found the issue/ squeek. On the left of the engine compartment there are two fuse boxes, one large and one small, the smaller of the two was not secure and was in fact where the squeeking noise was comming from

Regarding the front end squeak, I also found that the hood latch was making the squeak as well, I took mine in for service and after tightening and lubricating the hood latch and repairing the loose fuse box the squeak stopped.

I have 99 frontier 4 cylinder and have front noise like squeak when turning. One problem I have is the front sway bar/stabilizer I-bolts keep getting busted in-half. The two original bolts busted, 2 manufactured bolts busted, plus 2 temporary 3/8 threaded bolts busted. I cost $50 a pair.

I have a '02 frontier 4x4 and had the same problems. It would squeek when getting in and out of it , or when driving slow with the wheels turned right or left ( real tight).
Found out it was the snubbers on the A-arms. A small rubber 1" x1" x 1" rubber piece that limits the steering from turning too tight and causing damage. It will be on the rear side of the A-arms where you will see a worn spot with the paint gone . I ended up sanding the tips of the rubber and spraying a dry-black molycote lubricant on the A-arms . This will stop it for a while and then do it again later.

i would bet money that this is the result of damaged or unlubed ball joints. If you have a scope check the upper ball joints.

Well hell, I wish I wold have found this earlier. My 05 Frontier I took on a Jeep Jamboree Pre-Run here in Louisiana and after the ride the damn thing squeeked. It still does, Nissan has looked at it and looked at it and hasn't been able to find anything. Will try these

I have an '04 4x4 crew cab and was hearing the sqeeks for a while. Now, it's much worse... The stabilizer brackets on both of the lower a-arms have sheered off. This left the swaybar hanging to damage the rest of my steering and suspension. I found out each of the a-arms cost about $625 and there aren't any lift kits or suspension systems that replace them...what the heck, anyone else have this issue yet?

..
Welcome to the group to those posting for the first time. None have mentioned shocks yet
... I've only had one squeak from any of the six Nissans we've had/have. It was the a rear shock absorber on our '95 4x4 Hard Body. I squirted oil on the shaft twice and the squeak went away.
Have a good one, and Carry on.. Don S..
