The dogbones (pitman links at trailing arms) can squek if the dust boots tear and the joints dry out. Test this by spraying the dogbones with WD-40...the noise should go away for a couple days.


I replaced the right side of the rear shock bushings cause' it sounds like it was falling apart, after that I hear some squeeking noise from the rear. Do I need to replace the left side bushing too. Mechanics said still looks ok on the left side? Any suggestions?
