Just my luck, got the front end aligned this evening and still sqeaks, not as loud though wonder what it is? Probably take it somewhere and see if they can tell me, then go fix it myself hahaha.

Well, I hope my problem helped someone solve theirs as well. And wouldn't ya' know it....just as soon as ya' get one thing fixed another one comes up. It was time to replace my shocks the other day and these new shocks are THE squeakiest shocks I've ever heard in my life......Note to self: Don't buy Monroe Gas Shocks that only cost 17 bucks, lol. I took tyler's idea and WD-40'd the ever livin' crap out of my bushings, leaf springs, etc. etc. and that helped a little but it's still the shocks that make the racket....

I pulled my rear drums off and a lotttt of sh%t came out. Stopped for a little while then squeaky time again! I took off the frame straps, helped for a while, then again. I think these trucks like to get noticed one way or the other. lol

Had a similar issue with my wifes Yukon. It was an annoying metal to metal sqeak. I removed the front left shock drove it around the block and it was gone. So I went and bought new shocks and it is good as new.
