Creaking and Groaning...
....ok, I've done the search thing about creaks, squeaks, groans etc. coming from down below when driving on any kind of uneven, bumpy surfaces but it's driving me nuts now because I can't find the source.....I've done the back seat tape job on the latches as most everyone says that's where it coming from....I've greased the driveline/u-joints....it sounds like the shocks/struts but they've checked out OK....am I missing something underneath that should be greased?......I can push up and down on the truck and mimic it a bit....everything seems tight in the front end....HELP!!!!!!!!

Need a picture of stock front sway bar
....found out awhile ago what that annoying creaking was....seems that my front sway bar shifted from the driver's side to the passenger side and the bend in the bar is rubbing up against the outside of the driver's side body frame. I went to the dealership to take a look at a T4R underneath but they don't have one for me to compare mine to. The search button has a lot of wonderful pictures of the front underbodies of cool lifts and such but I can't find a stock picture of one with the shield removed. Anybody help?....also, if someone can post a pic of the blow-out diagram of the front sway bar assembly from a service manual that would be great....thanks.

Thanks for the info on that TSB.....I'll have to look at that when I get underneath again....weather here sucks and it's cold so any repairs or servicing waits until I can get into a friends heated shop.....I can actually see the sway bar shifted up against the frame and when I pryed it away there is evidence of steel on steel rubbing...the stethoscope proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt......I'd like to get a stock pic to compare if anything is different....it was in an accident in the front end just over 2 years ago but this started about a year ago.....I can almost be sure that they are related some how and want to compare stock and my actual.....
