Its a really faint sound... in fact I can only really hear it when the radio is off and the blower is off or on the first notch... and its really hard to describe... its not quite a rubbing noise nor a squeking noise...

Anyway I'll try cuban said in the next couple of days and get back to everyone... but I'd still appreciate more help and opinions

Now that you mention it I notice sometimes when say in a parking lot and turning the wheel to the right and if I hit a bump I hear a noise too. I know how you feel about the dealer. They will use every excuse in the book on why they won't cover stuff under warranty. They make it a big hassle. I mainly notice it when I go to this hardware store by my work because they have a stone parking lot. It doesn't really concern me too much thats really the only time I hear it. It hard to describe the noise its sort of sounds like rubbing I guess. I am planning on sometime when I can afford to is new struts, replace the swaybar bushings and end links and I see summit racing.com sells new upper ball joints for our trucks so I may get them too. You know the factory uses cheap parts anyway so these will be an upgrade.

Oaky so I can better describe the noise now... it sounds more like a sqeaul than a sqeuk or rubbing noise...

Also I sprayed some PB blast rust remover and Lubricant on the steering colomun... still didn't help... the sound isn't as bad...but its still pretty bad... I'll post up pics later when I get home from work...

What the noise is, Curtis, is your truck telling you, that you are a bad driver.

Hehehehe

I don't have much faith in our suspensions, I've already got another grinding noise going on in the front over bumps (had both shocks replaced around 12 or 13k under warranty too) and my brakes shake at highway speeds, guess it's time to bring it in for a look-see by the dealer again...[:@]

They don't do the rental thing around here, they will give you a ride home within 10 miles though.
