squicking noise in my rear
Every time i hit a bump or something the back of my truck squick's real bad. Is it most likely my shocks or my leftsprings going out?

could be bushings or leafs or shocks

Squicking is actually a huge problem with rangers.. when your pinion angle of the rear flange is off by 10 degrees or more, it tends to create a squick in between the tire and the rotary beads - Usually you have to rebalance the alternator pulley when you start hearing this - it will help your flange rotate properly to avoid the squick.
;) Actually, its probably your leaf springs - take a pressure hose or something and get any dirt out in between the leaves of them - over time they wear through and the bushings start causing lots an lots of "squeeking" sounds every tiem you hit a bump. Buy a set of bushings, pop off one side of the leaf springs at a time when your truck is jacked off and replace them - should work like a charm :-D |
I would also check the shocks out. I know my shocks are pretty rusty up front, and I can hear them each time I hit a bump.

okay will cleaning them remove the squicking or do i have to replace the bushing before the squicking goes away
|
Sounds like you need to lube your rear end. :biglaugh:

I am sorry, but the title of this thread brought out the naughty part of my brain, and I am rolling on the floor right now.
But regardless of that, wowmike is probably right. Probably some gunk causing that squeaking in your rear. Clean it out, and I bet your rear will stop squeaking. |
okay cool thats an easy fix
|
I powerwashed it today and it made a big difference the squeeking is pretty much gone. Thanks for the great ideas guys

Most squeeks are caused by dirt/bearings/bushings on a vehicle.. if it squeeks, take a powerwasher to it - if that doesnt work, check the bushing/bearings.. shocks only really go bad when you can tell they arent working.. bottoming out, having a really bouncy ride and such.. Hope you can get em all gone! =) |
