Squeeking from rear of truck
ok before u flame me or w/e, i did a search and couldnt find anything helpful.
now i have what im pretty sure are two different squeeks, the 1st happens when i press the brakes (moving or not) and sounds like its coming from the rear driver drum. im thinking its a spring or something.
and second squeek happens whenever i go over a small bump, and i think its all the time but i can only hear it at low speeds with the window open. now i was looking under neath and i noticed the bushing on the control arm thing on the passenger side rear (its a 4x4 bw and im not real familiar with AWD systems) looks very dry and im thinking i might be that...
any other thoughts on what either could be would be appreciated. ill have a friend help me locate the noise this weekend but any ideas from u guys would really help.
PS: where can i buy repair manuals offline? would napa or someplace have them in store?

The suspension squeak is probably a leaf spring cinch. There's info in this thread about fixing it: https://dodgeforum.com/m_334375/tm.htm

RE: Squeeking from rear of truck
My rear squeaks were coming from the 2 things I mentioned in a post I made 2 weeks ago.
rear squeaks
Your first squeak mentioned might be that spring called the shoe spring that is suppose to hold the 2 shoes together at the bottom. I know on my old dodge shadow I use to break this spring alot, mostly around winter. Tho, I dont think the cause was me always using the e-brake to power-slide around the corner in the snow in a 5 speed
