Rear Shock Absorbers Squaking!
 

Hey all,

My 2004 TJ is in great condition and barely take it off roading.
The beast has a 4inch suspension lift, 33 x 9.50 BFG for increased gas
efficiency and last summer I replaced all the shock absorbers with
Trail Masters. Late this winter my rear suspension began to squak and
or squeak. Recently I found the time to go underneath and diagnose
the issue. I believe the sound is coming from the shock absorbers top
mounting, next to the gas tank.
What are some possible solutions to illiminate the squak and/or what
are other possibilities where the squeaking is coming from in that
region of the vehicle?
Thanks! Any assistance would greatly be appreciated!

Steve

Lubricate your control arms & bushings and any other zerk fittings you
can find under there.

33s save gas? When did that happen?

HAha! No doubt. I lifted my Rubicon 05 4.5"'s, put on 33x12.5 with
aftermarket bumpers and a winch and off road lights. I know get 11
MPG on the highway. HAAHAHAH!
