Yes, the part will last its' entire lifetime. :****sweak:The factory believes in "lifetime" components.....if/when you rebuild it, most aftermarket stuff (if it's worth anything) will have zerks.
It's like saying if your parachute fails you have the rest of your life to figure it out....Yes, the part will last its' entire lifetime. :****sweak:
I have an 09 1500, and online I read to spray Silicone Spray on all the rubber components you can find and that would help. So I did (this was 4 years ago) and I still haven't heard anymore squeaks since then. Hope this helps.Thanks. My next question was to be "how do I get rid of the annoying squeaking?" I guess that'll be a rebuild. Thanks for the info.
The squeaking, creaking sounds are usually heard when i'm driving slowly over a speed bump or entering a driveway, or sometimes when I'm stepping out of the truck. Sounds like it's coming from the front end.
On my son’s Ram, his ball joint was bad and was squeaking.If you find out what's squeaking pass it along please. Something in my suspension is squeaking and it is annoying the hell out of me
We saw this a lot in the heavy truck dealership I worked for. It took very little to tear those boots, so I never advise it as a long term fix.I have never had a boot tear after using a needle and have been using them for decades - have yet to lose a suspension part that has been lubed using a needle.
Just remembered recently that if you want to get grease into the non grease zerks (ex- ball joints, tire rods, ext) they sale at auto stores a needle valve (looks like a larger medical blood needle, but connects right to your grease gun. I have one and I did all my connecting joints about 10 years ago, only need to puncture rubber with needle tip and give a few shots, don't want to expand rubber as the grease to come out. Mine still has the grease in that I pumped in, and never had a problem w/any of the connecting joints, and that's been approximately 60K miles ago.I have an 09 1500, and online I read to spray Silicone Spray on all the rubber components you can find and that would help.
