Squeeking Noise Over Rough Roads

[macguy]

I have a squeeking noise over rough roads that dealer cannot find. Could this be a bad ball joint or hub?

[jro909]

could be the rubber they put under the cab and between the frame squeeking...

Have them grease the slip yokes. That fixed my squeek.

When you say rubber, do you mean the yellow piece between the control arm and the frame?

take it to another dealer and road test it with a tech or shop forman,DONOT let them blow you off,if they still blow you off ,call the District Serive Manager(DSM) and tell him you're pissed!!!you will get satisfaction.

 

if you tell them to do something ,you will pay for it

Do you hear it while going slowing? If so it is most likely the door seals. It is the outer seel that makes the noise. Spray it with some silicone and see if it goes away. If it does there is a TSB about using a 3M anti-squeak tape on the doors.

its suspension, nothing to do with door. If window is wide open I hear it at up to 10mph on rough surfaces.

Sorry to hijack, Diesail, do you have any info about the tsb you are talking about? I do have squeaking doors and its irritating. Back on topic sorry.

Have you added nerf bars or side steps to the truck? Frequently squeaks like these develop after body mount bolts are removed and reinstalled. They use some kind of sealant on the threads at the factory.

no nerf bars. Even in my driveway if I coast down hill in neutral engine off it still makes squeak on rough surfaces at just few mph. Another test, I performed is driving a few feet at under 5mph and stepping hard on brakes, same noise coming from front end.

with your truck parked, rock your front tire forward and backward... get the truck rocking pretty good to see if you hear the squeak.

 

If you do... go to the store and spend $10 for a mechanics stethoscope. Have someone rock the truck back and forth while you use the stethoscope to find the origin of the noise.

 

We can sit here and name 100 different things that could cause that noise.. but that won't get you anywhere. You need to find out where it's coming from.

I sprayed silicone on front yellow polyurathane jounce bumpers and stabilizer bar bushings. So far no noise.

I had the same thing and the dealer couldent figure what it was...until the third time I took it back....it ended up being that the there were some loose parts ( Bolts & nuts) in in the front suspension.

 

Do u have a leveling kit on your truck ?
