Default 07 Tahoe suspension skeaks

Any ideas as to the cause of this? When it starts getting cold outside my suspension starts squeaking when I make turning into driveways or go over bumps in the road. This has happened since now for two winters. Last year I took it to the dealer and they greased the chasie. But the problem returned. It is not noticeable until the weather gets below 50%. Any ideas?

Thanks Shannon

Could be alot of things, but when mine was squeaking, it turned out I had a busted lower ball joint boot, and a busted boot on one of the tie rods. Give them a check, because most are not serviceable.

Not sure what greasing the chassis means as there are only two zerks, one on each outer tie rod ends. Spray silicone on the roll bar bushings and end links.

Squeaking could be normal as well. It doesn't always mean there is something wrong. Wouldn't hurt to check everything anyway.
