I noticed mine right after a dealer oil change (free oil changes for life). Since I had it there I had them do a tire rotation. I thought they may have bent something when the used the lift. But I am glad to hear it is quality issues, I think.
Anyway, thanks for the information.

they lubed mine 2 years ago and no more problem since. Same thing on our tahoe. Maybe they used magic grease 
or like the dealer said 'synthetic grease doesn't break down near as easy' 
both my trucks started that chit around 15k
