I have a squeek in my suspension that I have been trying to get fixed. It sounds like a break sensor when your pads are low. You know that hight pitched squeek that's really anoying?!!!
But it happends any time i hit the slightest bump in the road.

1st trip to the dealer:
-Getting an oil change and I told them about the squeek.
-They changed the oil but were unable to hear the squeek.

2nd trip to the dealer:
-Getting another oil change and had a technician take a ride with me so he could hear the squeek.
-Changed oil but were unable to find the cause of the squeek. They put grease on all joints in hopes that that would fix it.

3rd trip to the dealer:
-Just about the squeek
-They Replaced all of my brake hardware. Even though I told them it was not the brakes.
-Sounded fine leaving the dealer, but the squeek returned 1/4 mile down the road.

4th trip to the dealer:
-Just about the squeek
-I was able to rock the truck back and forth, while it was sitting still, to show them the squeek.
-They replace the front drivers side strutt assembly.
-The squeek in the front is gone!
-Now I have notices a similar squeek in the rear!!!!!

Does anyone else out there have an anoying squeek in there suspension?
Should I have them replace the rear shocks?
Is this common in the 4th gens?

I've done a little more research on my truck with this noise, if its parked and I grab the door and push up and down you can hear it in the front, I just can't determine if its my struts or ball joints? It sounds just like a sensor on your brake pads when driving and hitting bumps, but it never gets louder it just gets more consistent on like a bumpy or dirt road, and is very annoying. Can't ride with the windows down anymore! Drives me nuts. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. Thanks
