I guess alittle lube couldn't hurt!! Either that, or keep turning up the radio, right??!!

 

Just and update: I took the D into my buddy's shop to get the rear drums looked at and get the e-brake tightened. I don't wanna mess with the drums...LOL... Did it after my rad hose swap this morning. Anyways, turns out the shoes were never changed since born, 117,000+ miles. Changes the shoes, tightened the e-brake... Since it was up there took a look at the bushings. They were fine, turned out the upper bolts on both shocks were loose. Tightened them down and now no rattles or squeaks over bumps.

 

After lubing the sway bars it didn't stop on mine. I crawled under one day and while doing something else with the frond axle noticed that the axel was attached to the engine mounts and transmission mounts. I found some loose bolts in this configuration and no more squeeks.

 

Just shows you hydra, it could be something simple like loose bolts!...LOL...

 

Well it was both actually! After replacing the bushings it really got quiet but never fully went away. The problem (also) was the front diff was moving because how it's attached.

I could kill the stupid bastard that made the engine mounts, trany mounts, and diff all connected.....


Talk about a pain in the ****!....

 

Engineers think about cost-effective applications, not real-world implications.
