    My suspension started squealing like a pig. I serviced the Camburg UCA w/uniball and it didn't stop. Upon further inspection I saw that the bushings on the LCA were cracked. I took it to my tire shop and they looked at it and the guy told me it was infact the LCA. He lubricated the LCA and it stopped for a day. I looked into my warranty and the bushings are covered if they are cracked not worn. I took it to the dealer. They ordered the parts. They replaced the LCAs and aligned. When i got to my truck i saw my steering wheel was not centered.
    I went back to them and they 'fixed' it. When I got onto the road, the truck was pulling hard to the right. I finally got it aligned right and when I pulled into my driveway I heard it rub. When I checked it out, it rubs on the driver side, and not the passanger.
    There was 0 rub before even when flexed. I am running 265/70/17s on Method Double Standards. Anything I can do, preferably outside of the dealer so I don't have to drive a Camry for another 4 days..(yes it took them 4 days to "get it right")
