i have an 07 1500 4x4 qc which has 26,xxx miles on it. any bumps feel horrible in my truck. i am also experiencing the same problem as you guys. i am going to take it in to a dealership since its still under factory warranty and make them replace whatever is causing the problem. i will let you guys know what they find.

Get rid of the leveling kits guys.. they cause nothing but problems, I had the worst squeaks until I took mine out, not to mention the crazy wobbles when in 4x4.. The clunking you have is probably your strut gone, I just had to get my right on replaced under warranty cause it leaked all the fluid out and was clunking bad.. The 4x4 shop by me was telling me instead of leveling the truck for a couple hundred more you can get struts from procomp that are a bit bigger and will level the truck out, I havent looked into it anymore but I think im going to go that route since theres no money to lift the truck until the spring..

Well Im glad mine doesnt make any noises. But then again, the last two times Ive had my front end apart and in pieces I took all the rubber pieces I could find and put them in a old jar with penetrating oil and let them soak while i was worknig on everything else. I was always taught to inspect and spray CV boots to help them not dry out and split so I do the same with all my rubber I can.

Just had the same problem on my 08....Creaking over speed bumps....and rattling if going over rough road surface. Dealer told me it was the sway bar....ordered new bushing and they said it was fixed....didnt even leave their lot and it was still doing it. I mean didnt you test drive itwhen you finished the job!?!?!?!
Then they replaced drivers coil over...and problem went away completly...
Truck has 30k on it....

Design flaw? Both my front and rear suspension creak. I sprayed it with wd40 and it went away for about 500 miles. I want everything replaced both sides in the front and rear. This is BS. A lot of these trucks are $34k brand new, I guess all we get out of it is a hemi and a weak suspension.

same problem on mine, drives me absolutly ape S***. Im going to wait till my major 15,000 mile service to get it looked at. I really hope they dont give me the whole "we cannot duplicate the sound you are talking about" that would really **** me off. Some days are better than others but its a pretty constant problem that I have had for some time. Really kinda rediculous seeing as how my truck is an 08 with only 12,000 miles on it.

Just an idea.....
i had the same problem and took it in. Told me it was the hood assembly that was loose.
they tightened it up and the squeak went away.
took about 3 mnths and 2 weeks of solid driving on rough roads for it to come back. gunna go in with my next service and raise some hell lol.


try poppin the hood, and driving could be that
