They probably can. When I'm looking for a squeak I try to narrow stuff down. Move the truck up and down to make the noise and use something like wd-40 to see if you can figure out which part it is making noise. Just an idea.

Made a world of difference! I had been driving with both sides broken for quite some time.
Steers better, and no more popping now.

I had to use a grinder to cut them off.
Replaced what?

this!^

i have an assortment of lube sprays that i use ... so if i have a squeak or something i squirt one thing at a time until i find it. cheaper & often more effective than taking it to a shop IMO.
