A good and two bads

[GhostRam94]

Well we will start with the good. Got my new sway bar bushings out in and they are looking good
Now to the 2 bads, even thought got the new bushings in, it still squeaks like it has been, I noticed it squeaks when ever it rocks back and forth? So any in put and it's a really loud squeak to. Oh and y'all know my nbrand new cv axles that got put in last week?! Yea go to the 3rd pic-_- do you guys think I can get a new clamp thing because it popped off when I pulled in to the driveway and hasn't moved so, the cv is still good.

looks good.... sucks to hear about the rest. can you tell which side its coming from. try and get under it and have somebody else rock it back and forth for you

 

[iSlacker816]

Take it back to who did it and be like WTF?

 

[GhostRam94]

It comes from the passenger side but at times it's almost like from the middle. Ima go make a video real quick

When mine squeaked really loud like that, it was the struts, but since you don't have those, maybe it's the shocks, or maybe the body mounts. I'd start squirting stuff down with silicone spray.

I had an odd and annoying squeak a while back...turns out I had a massive buildup of sand in the top of my shock. I would rock the truck back and forth and hear it like you're describing. Could be mud too. Cleaned it out and all better now.

Ima try the cleaning and spray right now and hopefully I can get a new clamp for the cv axle, I'm not gonna drive her till I'm for sure though

 

[Musclemckeester]

My shock had to be completely dismantled for cleaning. I sprayed wd40 like it was going out of style and that did not cut it. I know you go mudding, that's why I'm suspecting that.

As far as the clamp goes, is that for the cv boot?

Ooo that is really high pitched

Yea it's for the boot but I haven't been mudding since last December, ugh ima still try it though, not gonna take it off just gonna see

And where was the sand on the shock, like inside the dust cover?

Check your lower control arms bushings, or your tortion key bolts.

Fudge,that's the only things that haven't been replaced besides hubs

 

[TexasRammer]

ahhhhhh damn thats an annoying squeak

 

[GhostRam94]

Now you know my pain.... Grrrrrrr

 

[GhostRam94]

Ok just wondering how could it be the lower ccontrol arm bushings or t bar bolts? I could see if it made the squeak bouncing up and down but it makes the same exact squeak doing both and side to side

I had a lower control arm bushing that got un-seated from the arm. It squeeked and popped sometimes. I just had to take the arm off and re seat the bushing.

Holy damn, that's an annoying squeak! Are the new bushings poly or rubber? I've heard poly bushings are a pain to keep from squeaking.

 

[GhostRam94]

I'm pretty sure they are rubber but I used a bunch of grease and I guess I will have to look any way to tell without taking it apart?

It was a few months after my sand "adventure" that it finally happened. I'm not sure where the sand was exactly, I took it back to the shop that installed my lift. He said $50 to take it apart and I said have fun. He said there was a lot of it though.

Check your brake cover out of curiosity. Last time the truck was at the dealer, they put it on to where it was actually rubbing on the brake pad. When the truck rocked just like what you were doing that it made a noise very similar.

As far as the shock goes, try rocking it from side to side. I would stand next to the front fender and rock it that way. See what that does.
