Okay...Fabtech 3inch spindles installed tuesday and this morning a LOUD CONSTANT squeak began from the wheels. It is only there under 15mph, and you can hear it whether I'm braking or not...!!! I'm a little worried. Off Road Unlimited wants to see it Saturday. I don;t have my new shocks on yet...could that be it. Also, So Cal was pounded with rain yesterday. Could something be wet? Any help would be great. THanks.

Over a year ago when I did my spindle lift, Bullseye had a bad ball joint manufacturer. The ball joints creaked and squeaked like crazy when turning the wheel at low speeds. Also they were extremely dangerous because they were coming apart and people were losing wheels. Sounds like a similar symptom. I'd get it checked ASAP.

 

I don't believe it's a bad ball joint because Fabtech uses the original ball joints. What you might want to check is the ABS sensor. When I installed my sensors to my spindles, I noticed the passenger side sensor came awfully close to the "target" wheel on the rotor. Maybe it's touching and giving off the squeal.

Let us know what you find out...
