Any chance that this might be coming from my front shocks? I forgot to
mention that after I turn off my truck and I step out it makes a squeking
sound (when my weight, 195lbs, comes off the truck). I know that stock
shocks are crap so maybe they should be replaced?
How can I check to see if it's the "screw" problem, or the "intermediate
shaft" problem?
