New Silverado creaks...is this normal

gerryl98 · 03-07-2005, 09:54 PM

...for a new truck? (05 LT Ext cab) I didn't notice it at first because I guess was was enjoying the XM too much but now I started noticing that at very slow speeds such as pulling in and out of parking spaces, going over speed bumps, etc, the truck creaks. Not worth my time to have the dealer check it out...unless you think it's something that can be the start of something serious. Another forum suggested to buy a silicone spray lube and spray all the rubber bushings. Any other suggestions?

My truck does the same thing. I wouldn't worry about it. Put a dual exhaust on it and you won't hear it. :>)

Try spraing your sway bar bushings with some silicon lub and if it stops then there ya go. I had some funny noises like that on my old blazer and my current 98 silverado. If thats the cause and it comes back and bothers you replace with some polyurethane bushings.
