    Wheelers 1.5" 3 leaf progressive aal.

    Squeaking horribly on driver's side suddenly. I know AALs can get squeaky but I found it odd that it has only been on maybe a month or less and it just started suddenly and only on one side. Its dark out now but everything seems tight from what I can tell with bare hands and a flashlight. Wasn't squeaking earlier today, now, it sounds like a fifty year old ford ha

    So, normal? or Something is loose? Other?


    Thanks fellas

    I think the DIY will last for a bit but can come back......mine prob started after the first trip oofroad about a month after they were done! Thery're not as loud now, or maybe I'm just used to it!

    i never got to the DIY because the squeak doesnt really bother me. i noticed when i go in the snow/mud and or wash my truck the squeak returns lol...then it will go away after a few days.

    Not enough.
    Here is what I did when I installed mt 3 leaf aal.

    Looks a bit ghetto but damn it's quiet. Just get an old inner tube and slice it open then cut to length:D:D
