I noticed my truck was squeeking while cruising around today. The squeek was coming from the rear of the truck and seems to be suspension related. Any ideas???

 

Floyd,

It may be that the bed isolation bushing(s) are loose and rubbing a bit.

I have Cal-Tracs on my truck and they use an aluminum/steel eye bushing on the front spring mounts and they squeak and clank a lot, I have to keep them lubed frequently. Do you have traction bars or have you done any tinkering on the rear suspension?

I have yet to touch anything on the rear end. The squeek seems to have gone away now... But I know It will be back, Im due for an oil change, might as well lube everything while im at it. Thanks for the info.
