    i am hearing a sqeeking sound coming from my rear end. just when i roll it forward by hand. or put pressure on the tailgate. could it be the suspension or axle or am i just worrying over nothing. i have added a leaf in the rear. let me know what u think? hopefully i am just worrying over nothing

    just noticed one of my leafs is crooked, could that cause it? i pinpointed the problem to the leafs. but is it worth straightening it out. it is still in the bracket
