Stevo - we had that fitted around 20,000 klms and then drove to Cape York and back. 75,000 klms later still no reappearance of the squeaking so hopefully yours will serve you likewise.
Sorry to hi-jack here but can I ask if when you had the silencer kit fitted if the ute was stock standard or already set up for touring? I only ask because I have always had squeaky rear leaf springs and not once has any dealer I've been to ever said anything about a silencer kit or upgrade
.
I have had all-around ARB bar work since new: winch bar (no winch fitted), side rails to steps & rear tow bar. I am not far off taking her in for the 60k service and am already going to ask about warranty for my front left shock leaking but am concerned that they might claim it is void coz of the bar work?? It's a 2011 MN Dual cab and doesn't carry any extra weight except the bar work i.e. no drawers or toolboxs etc. and has never done any serious off-roading.
Thanks in advance
