    I’ve never heard a CB squeak. Have heard other things squeak. You can look underneath and confirm.

    if that is a new stock replacement you can either try to match old witness marks if they’re there, add ARB drop spacers if you’re lifted

    or find another Taco to slide underneath look how theirs is positioned
    I’m not sure if there’s a feel. Like loosen bolts, let it hang in a natural resting spot at ride height, and gradually tighten both sides at a time while making sure they’re straight and even (not tilted off at an angle)

    that was the link I sent him if you scroll down into the conversations everybody sent in pictures of their center bearing and where it is mounted. I believe that was his original question. Otherwise any squeak you’re gonna have to check your U-joints

    I had a squeak I was chasing for a couple of weeks just recently. It was noticeable at mostly lower speeds and every bump, or stop. With alternating which window was down I was able to locate the and pinpoint it to the rear. My initial suspect was the leaf springs. I could replicate the squeak by bouncing the truck when standing on my sliders. I gave them a good dose of spray grease lubricant and the squeak is no longer noticeable.
