NoLegs Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 You need a louder exhaust. I have Beltech 1" lowering shackles and haven't heard any squeaking...of course, I'm still trying to stop the GM squeaks on the inside of the cab...

rivierakid55 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I had a pretty horrendous squeak on mine but it was the parking brake cable rubbing against the bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddieo818 Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 my exhaust is pretty loud i have flowmaster dual 40 series one coming out the back and the other turns down so it pretty loud. the squeaking only occured after i pressure wash the underbody of my truck and it only happens when im pulling into a driveway or going over speed bumps, etc... the guy at the suspension shop said to use urathane greece on the bushings so i did and it only covers me for a few months then i have to hunt for the greece again i never find it @ local parts stores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blk06Limited Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 From what I understand, the only shackles that squeak are the ones that use urethane eyelets instead of rubber. Only ones I know for a fact that use rubber are the Belltech pieces. In any case, you should be able to grease them using some waterproof grease to get rid of the squeaks. Trust me, I've had full urethane bushing sets on cars before and that usually does the trick. May need to reapply later down the road at interval though.

blackvert Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 i went with the belltech shackles because of the rubber bushing, they are identical to the OEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
