Hello fellow Ranger owners, Living in the Midwest we are powering through a "cold stretch" and with the low temps (close to zero) I have noticed a squeaking noise coming from both sides of front suspension with the 2.5 Rough County level kit. Everything is still driving handling the same just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Later this week we are supposed to warm up so we'll see if that causes the nose to dissipate, I will update. Thanks for any thoughts on this.

It could be so many things but hopefully, it’s just the rubber control arm or anti-sway bar bushings complaining about the weather.

If you’re able to, you might want to get under it and double-check that the anti-sway bar mounting bolts are tight - they are often loosened when installing level kits/removing struts.

I'll rephrase.....cold for us MO folks:LOL:
Not sure where you are in Missouri, but if we get a snow like that here in St. Louis it might last one or two days then melts to slush, and temps go right back up in the 40's. I have heard though Kirksville referred to as the North Pole of Missouri.

I miss a real honest-to-you know who snowfallâť„âť„âť„.

Nope never put a finger on the issue, guess we'll see if it happens again this winter.
