    I'm not a mechanic, so I'll ask for patience when asking my questions in what might seem like an uninformed way.

    I hear some annoying rickety sounds on the passenger side suspension. I especially hear it when I'm driving slowly and when I drive onto bumps or the sidewalk.

    The only maintenance I've ever done is oil changes, but I've been wanting to inquire about the necessary greasing/lubricating that might avoid such issues. The passenger side shock on the front was replaced under warranty because the original was defective.

    My truck is 6 years old. 2013, 2nd Generation. 50K miles. What maintenance do I need to ask for at the dealership to resolve this issue?

    Furthermore, any instructions about what to ask for, or how to ask so that I'm not taken advantage of with unnecessary maintenance would be greatly appreciated.

    If there's any other essential maintenance that you guys highly recommend for my truck, I'd be grateful because I plan on keeping this truck for a long time. I always feel like the dealership recommends everything conceivable but I want to know what is truly necessary to secure the longevity and reliability of my truck.

    Thanks, guys.
