Just two days ago, the AV was in for an oil change and tire rotation and yesterday, there was a weird squeaking noise when moving. Took it back to the dealer today and the diagnosis is that a new shock has to be ordered. Has anyone had any problems like this with their shocks or was it just probably something wrong that happened during the tire rotation?
 
I have had the sqeak in the right front for about 4 months now, & have been unable to get it corrected.
Good luck, when the shock comes in I hope it clears up the noise.
 
I just brought mine in this morning for the misterious squeek noise. They determined the cause and are ordering new front shocks. Mine is a Z71 - their seems to be a lot of this going around.
 
Mine was perfect until I about killed a guy one day and had to slam on the brakes. Ever since then the front squeeked. I took it in and had the front two shocks replaced free with warrenty, and they did the PCV valve at the same time.
