Exclamation 07 Tahoe Suspension Noise 78K

I have an intermittant squeak coming from my drivers side shock. The truck handles beautifully, yet I hear the noise mostly at low speeds and during turns. Dealer works by appointment only, and is backed up for weeks; so I'm trying to troubleshoot this on my own.

Can create the noise by pushing down on the front end, although there is no excessive play, even when driving over bumps.

Every time I go to a garage, it seems I get ripped off any suggestions?? Anyone else experienced a similar problem?

Try spraying WD40 or like product on the shock absorber. Sometime they get dirt around the seal area where the shaft comes out of the shock absorber and they can really squeak....!!!

I second the WD-40,
did that with my rear drivers side shock,
dealer wouldn't replace, said it wasn't leaking.
I'll try again next year
I have GM-PP MG till 76K
got 43K on it now...
