Hey everyone,

Just started getting a massively a noting rear squeak on the KK. I'm assuming its my freaking end links I'm going to spray them down with some lithium grease. See if that helps but is becoming a frequent thing, anyone else having this issue?

Also have a rattle on large bumps from what sounds like the driver front wheel.

Thanks
Musclez

Squeak or chirp? I developed a very annoying chirp and it turned out to be my brakes. One of the glide pins was stuck allowing the brake pad to move around and squeak when hitting even the smallest bumps. The funny thing was that both the left and right each had one of the pins stuck and I had to replace both caliper brackets

Try disconnecting the lower shock mounts then jounce the vehicle while parked. My old skyjacker shock's bushings were the cause of a squeek in the rear like you describe.
The first thing I'd check in the front are ball joints.
