    There's something squeaking behind the trim on the B pillar.

    hehe...your taco is squeaking :spy:


    You said you have a 3'' body lift. Body lifts cause any vibrations from the road/trail to be transferred to the body a lot more than stock body bushings.These vibrations transfer tot he cab and anything attached to it causing things to come loose (causing creaks, squeaks, rattles...etc...)

    I drive for a living and SQUEAKS suck.....YOU can FIND it...then you can remedy it.....;)

    Dam paint on an area that should not be painted will cause a SQUEAK...
    I know ...new Ride is 3 months old and hoist had SQUEAKED since NEW....DA with fine paper and a new ZEP lube got rid of that ( I will get that product name for you in the AM,sorry)...no PINK paint bleed over to shaft area not covered by the tube???? That top weep pad will SQUEAL like he!! if that shock/strut rod is not clean....:mad:

    Has the shock on that side moved ??? even a little, you said they were rebuilt with the old springs....anything "Shiny" that was not before ???

    Good luck and keep trying to "find it"....

    I had squeaks going on. Every few months I spray the entire undercarrage with lubricant. Just did mine this past Friday all squeaks gone (except all the ones in the dash :-/). Liquid wrench penetrating oil does the trick.

    Thank you all for the replies! I think its my tie rod ends on the drivers side. And i dont know how to fix it yet... it seems like its the inner under the boot. Only does it turning to the left, whether im moving or still. ITS ANNOYING!! and i do have a little squeak in the cab on the passenger side somewhere, and it clicks too. lol

    Is this where I put the tasteless joke about somebody getting some lube for this chick?

    Or does that go over there --->

    I've never heard of a tie rod squeaking. Normally they'll wear out and cause play in your tires. I'll be replacing my tie rods this weekend. You should check your tie rods for tears in the boots. Maybe they're bone dry without grease and that's causing the squeak. If you need to lube your shocks to check for squeaking you should use Tri Flow which is a silicone based lubricant. You can buy it at many bicycle stores for about $7. That will take away the squeak for a few days.

    What kind of front suspension do you have? Here's what I went through with my front suspension.
