My truck's going to the shop tomorrow morning to see if they can find out where the squeaking's coming from. Gonna put her up in the air and take her apart. Hoping it's not gonna be bad.

Thanks guys. They are going to look her all over and hopefully find where it's coming from. Think I'm getting the tierod replaced too but not for sure.

What a day. I really didn't need all this to happen this month. Shop tore into the truck today. Both front struts blown and leaking. Thought the rack and pinion was blown but ended up being oil leaking on it from the oil filter not being tightened down. Both sway bar links replaced, both tie rod ends replaced and the passenger side CV driveshaft boot was split and leaking so had that replaced also. Total $900.

Here she is up in the air

What was thought to be a blown rack but ended up being oil from the filter not being tight. Thank you Green Dodge in Springfield, you'll be hearing about this.

Don't like hearing your '08 having these problems! Sucks though, get it all fixed before it gets worse.
