Almost ever since i got my truck the back end always makes a kind of squeaky-chirping sound when i hit little bumps, Im thinking its just the leaf spring but idk and whenever i let off the brakes it makes a squeaking sound from it releasing. Is there anything i can do to fix this or is it normal? Thanks

 

WD-40 and Duct Tape!!!!!!!! That combination will fix anything.

 

LOL....i see wd-40 workin but wtf is duct tape gonna do

 

Dunno until you get under there and see what it will stick to haha.

 

yeah, my truck always has done that going over small bumps, it's on and off though.

 

turn your radio up louder.

 

haha, thats funny cause that's exactly what I do

 

HAH same here!

anyway my tailgate kinda rattles and "chirps" a little. and my leaf springs/bushings squeak...try one of those maybe?

 

yeah good point it could be my tailgate too

 

That is where it comes from(the tailgate and leaf springs). I always have my radio turned up so i dont here it lol

 

just hit one set of bushings with WD40 at a time and go for a little drive, when you stop hearing it you found it.

 

lower ball joints..? jack up the truck from the control arm.. put a big bar under the tire, and pry it up, watch the lower ball joint to see how much play you have, mine moved like 1/4"+

(not supposed to do that :p )




or you can just turn the radio up
it works better than WD 40 in some cases
