Whats up guys, havent posted in a while but i have a question...

I have a rize 8" and over the last week ive gotten a horrible squeek. I just greased the center link.... yeah know the two bolts that slide to turn the wheels. That didnt fix it...

i topped of the power steering reservior that didnt work

Has any one had this problem or know how to resolve it.
im embarrassed to drive it. Ill take any advice.

Thanks

Based on the info in your post does it only happen when you turn? Is it a sqeek or more of a squeel?

 

I haven't had any noises at all from my Rize 8" to date.....it's been on for 3 months and 3k miles now.

Are you sure it's not a loose drive belt?

 

Yea, thats what I was thinking, hince I asked if it was a squeel and not a squeek...

 

Yes it only happens when i turn once in a while when i hit a bump but mainly when i turn its a horrible squeek.

 

I actually just drove the truck, its a horrible squeel from half a turn to full lock both left and right.

its seriously starting to pi** me off.

 

I just delt with this last night. My problem was that it was definately when I steared. I sprayed the bearings with a little PB blaster just in case but what really needed done was I took a handful of grease and crawled under and covered those slots that the bearings ride in with the grease. Don't forget the third top slot. This may seem pointless because the bearings spin and you should not have to grease the slot but what I found was the bearings might be pitched a little cause the very loud squeek.
Total silence now. Try it. It can't hurt anything
