I have the same problem, but very minor in the rear. But it is very bad on the front suspension, It sounds like it is coming from the upper a arms. I'm taking it to the shop tomorrow to see if they can fix it, the dealership wouldn't fix it under warranty due to the lift.

 

Thumper, Your squeaky rear end is purely the cause of rusted out muffler bearings. Just spray them with a little WD40 or silicone lube and your problem should be solved.

 

its the buishings i had mine replaced...

 

holy 3 year old bump

 

how do you even find a 3 year old thread? i mean do you like search for stuff to answer?

 

I have this problem on my Dakota... I'm kind of glad this thread popped up out of no where. I think I'm going to have to take the leaf springs apart and clean them up.

I don't understand how they have dirt in them when the truck has never been taken off road in the 10 years of its existance.

Oh well, looks like I'll have some fun this winter cleaning up something.

 

haha ah well...

 

I haven't read everyones reply to this, but I had a squeak coming from the rear also a long time ago and it turned out to be that my tailgate just needed to be opened and closed again. It hadn't shut right or something and squeaked like crazy.

 

Just saw this thread.

I've had three problem areas so far.

The mounting joints on the tailgate.
A spring on the e-brake assembly back by the passenger side rear rotor.
New AAL's that needed to be re-lubed.
