:funny:



If you live in an extremely sandy area you may need to take your brake pads out and de-glaze them with sandpaper.  If the noise persists then you have at least eliminated the sand idea and improved your braking with no investment.

So, the screeching noise is from you grinding your tires!  There was a kid running around with a toy that had the front tires look like this, /  \  .  And you could hear him for miles!

how do you know nothing is bent?

because it doesnt look bent? who told you that the camber just fell out?

do you know how the front suspension on your truck actually works?

have you had firsthand technical experience with the frontend design?
