Annoying squeaking in rear

[KilluminatiDre]

There is a very loud squeak that comes from my rear if I push down on the rear bumper area and it's constant during low speed driving. It's so annoying, loud and embarrassing that I want to get rid of my truck. It can be easily heard from the inside and outside and is coming from the rear. I would like to know some hot spots to look at first. The shocks are brand new and this sound was there before I changed them out. It's just worse now.

Could be the rear sway bar bushings, they tend to get squeaky, easy fix to just unbolt them lube with lithium grease and put back on. Do this with the vehicle on the ground or ramps, jacking it up will create resistance force on the bar

I sprayed some CRC 556 on those areas just to see if there is any difference and it definitely improved. I can push down on the rear with out any squeak so I'm gonna keep soaking those areas.

I got this exact issue on my Denali. I'm going to buy some lithium white grease this evening and then coat them tomorrow (as well as any other rubber thing I can see).

Let me know if this works out for you so that I know I'm on the right track.

as long as your taking the caps off, wrap the bar with Teflon tape, lube with lithium grease if you want to, re install the bushing and caps.

you'll get much better results if you just pull them off and grease them and put them back on, that spray only works temporary

If it comes back, Energy Suspension makes bushings that have a grease fitting, or DJM makes end links with the same thing. Also don't forget the panhard bar bushings.

I have a similar problem. My squeak started the day after I towed a U-Haul trailer loaded with furniture. I didn't notice a squeak during towing, only after. I've towed my much larger/heavier pontoon before and had no issue. It was lowered in Sep with Tony's 2/3.5-4.5 kit so it has new endlinks. Wondering if it's the rubber hose on the top of the spring which is part of his recommended installation? Seems to only come from the driver's side. It's been too cold/wet/snowy for me to get under there to investigate - hopefully soon, it's very annoying.
