    OK updates problem seems to have been solved the problem was definitely from the lease the dealer had put in rubber spacers on a couple of points but either not enough of them or not the right points when we listen to U-boats the creek was gone and we hand tightened it once we tightened it back to spec‘s 89 pounds the creek came back with a vengeance so then he decided to put flat head screwdriver between the certain spaces of the lease and when he did that the creek went away so we got and cut Some square pieces of heavy duty black rubber hose and placed it between where the lease were rubbing and now the stone is gone thank God so thank you too the guy who said make sure they’re torqued back properly that’s ever so important and for people that have this problem in the future it may take multiple pieces of rubber spacers between your lease but it’s definitely metal rubbing against metal that caused it

    Glad you torqued up properly! Wonder how long until the metal grinds through the rubber though. Probably awhile! But I’m picturing rubber tubes stuff through like spaghetti and not trimmed! I blame the screw driver pic.

    well it’s WAS a temp fix until I got home. Ya. tube rubber too soft. Ordered the proper rubber grommet spacers and install next week. Finally locating the problem was 95% now it was just a little trial and error. Dude I’m sooo the guy to no mess with stuff. I would’ve left the ubolts snug not torqued not realizing I could’ve loss my ass end on hard acceleration. My buddy working on and this forum highlighted the importance of torque. I told him just make them snug and he had this look and I was like “ or whatever you think” lol.
    So next week with the proper spacers I should be finally done chasing a freaking ghost. Will update next week for finale
