Squeaking--
Smile. Imo your hearing is too good.

Other:- what time are you lot getting to Bbtb. Thursday afternoon all spots had gone except up the hill.  Wish I were going.  Maybe ....  John and I will  camp out on blm land past the airport, a fav pre-event spot for many buses.  And quieter. Actually I'd like to hunt down the sandhill cranes nr Needles. 
Btw we enjoyed the blm place you recommended , last in Ca before Parker.  It was very peaceful. Did it on way back.

Update. I disassembled the passenger side suspension including the trailing
arms. Nothing to indicate what is squeaking. All the bearings were clean
and smooth. I disassembled the driver side as far as removing the king
pin assembly. Again nothing to indicate what is squeaking. I put it all
back together making sure that everything is well greased. No joy. the
squeak persists whenever I drive through a dip that makes the suspension
make a good excursion. I crawled under the bus and got a buddy to bounce
the bus for a while. I could not hear any squeaks. I'm stumped. Any
suggestions? I did not lube the stabilizer bar rubber bushings. Maybe?
Tomorrow I'll squirt some WD-40 into those.

Cheers,
Chris
