ok, so i put my 3in lift on my blazer with a 2in pitman arm. a couple weeks of street driving and the draglink end at the steering arm started creaking and squeaking.it was suggested here that i replace it with a new part, and that fixed the sound. now a couple weeks later its right back where i started, creaking and squeaking. i cant figure it out. i never had any problems with this for the years ive had the truck before the lift. what could be the causs?

Have you tried putting some grease in the DLE?
ok, today i re greased the joint with marine grease. i even took off the pitman arm end and moved it around while i greased it to make sure it was getting to all the areas. still no change. any ideas? im stumped and ready to buy a third one... i gotta feeling whats going to happen to me tho.
I'm stumped too, you haven't really introduced any huge stresses or angles with a 3" lift, and any grease should be enough to get the end to last 2 weeks.
Any other ideas anyone?

are all the parts torqued down correctly ? ie steering arm ? pitman arm ? steering box ? frame cracks ? could be a ball joint maybe too /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
