squeaking bed

SIGh.. eversince i got rear aals, ive been having trouble with them. Last time it was due to the fact that the shop did not BOLT on the lower shocks.. and now.. my bed sqeaks everytime i drive it.. when im just on the road it squeaks!! like an old door that needs to be WD40ed-which i tried to do with the leaf springs and everything else under the bed. Any idea guys? This only happens on the driver side of the bed! For example,...when i push down on the bed (drivers side.) it squeaks!!!! could it be the stock shocks that i need to change? the aals are only 1.5 in. Should i drench it with more WD40? heeellllppp.. my girlfriend is complaining that i should have it checked up in case if its something big! and shes complaining soo much that its getting on my nerves!!ive checked the bolts and they are all tight!

I would take it back to the shop that did not tighten the shocks in the first place. Explain the situation it has caused and they should be responsible to fix it.

you might just want to pull over and rent a room instead of using the cab

Thans BOB.. But if i ever needed to do "that" I would first have to replace my shocks!!!


Anyway.. i just sprayed some WD40 while at work.. drenched the leafs.. but they still squeaked.. after work.. i drove it to my girlfriends house.. and no more squeaks!!- Probably needed to some movement for the grease to get into tight spaces!
