Can anyone give me an idea where to look for squeak in the drivers side rear.( all exhaust donuts are new and exhaust hangers are tight)

by using the search I was certain it was the dog bones ( they need replacing anyway after 60K)

TIA

In most case the squeak comes from the dogbones. I added a bit of grease into the dogbones before I installed new ones, especially the cheapo ones have little grease. Easy to add, just remove the dust boots.

Shock mounts tight?
I know it is difficult to find the exact location. Try to push the rear down and listen if you hear any noise.

shogun...I pushed down on rear fender and I get the squeak so am going for the shock mounts ...heck it has been 13 years since I did the sachs kit and M-Tech sways.
I will report Back.... also I used Lemforder dog bones like i did before.

FYI...Still have the Ported manifold for FREE i anyone wants it...IMHO you need a ported head and headers to really make use of it or you could hang i t in your garage!
