Attack of the squeaks
Ok i need help. Yesterday I started to notice that when I'm driving there's a god awful high pitched squeak coming from the driver front tire. I think part of it is the brakes but there's another squeak that happens besides when I'm braking. It happens while i'm driving and espically when I'm turning. I've got 33's if that makes any difference with a 3 inch body. Please Help. Thanks all

I've still got it for now. It's sitting in storage at home till i get back. I'm in Florida right now for work but I'll be back to Indiana in August. Then it's most likely going on the auction block at the Auburn Auctions www.angelfire.com/in2/Swinford
Damn, Mine is starting to make this noise now too, I have 36112 miles on it and the warranty ended in January.

DonW: If you think you need their help with the warranty, just go to the dealer with a six pack of beer and I am sure they can honor you warranty with that mileage. That's negotiable.
Ginuwinestylz: In that part of my truck the only squeak I had came from a worn out top shock rubber bushing. When that happens the shock stud will star rubbing against metal producing the squeak.
Hope this helps.

i have found that the left inner tierod and the pitman arm start squeaking in the boots since they are not greasable, i poke a small hole in the boot and spray some penatrating oil in the boot and then work the wheel back and forth. this usually cures the squeak i hope this helps
