#421176 - 18/12/03 08:41 AM Do Torsion Bars Squeek?

During the last summer I installed new shackles and did a minor t-bar crank on the front to give some more clearance for my new tires. Over the past 2 or 3 weeks there a squeek devoloped that I can't seem to find. It only happens when the truck is moving over lightly bumpy ground with no throttle, IE coasting. It never occurs with any load on the drivetrain or over bumps larger than a quarter is high.

The squeek sounds like it is coming from the area around the t-bar adjustment bolt on the drivers side, but all the nuts are tight. The alighnment has been checked twice, and I am far from hitting the bump stops. Is there a bushing or something that needs a bit of lube? I am by no means any kind of suspension guru, just a guy that can turn a wrench.

Any thoughts?

Ypu might want to make sure there is ample grease on the uppercontrol arm right above the bumpstop. I had a similar problem which was eliminated once I put grease there.

Thanks
