I was one of the lucky ones that had to wrong springs in my truck. Got them replaced last fall and then the recall came out and according to my dealer they had to do the install all over again. My question is I still have a squeak/chirping noise over certain bumps. They replaced my upper control arms saying that was the problem. Btw they are made out of plastic. I haven’t called back yet to let them know the noise is still there. Trying to do some more research to see who else has had or has this problem. One of my questions is I noticed there is two different upper control arms with part numbers ending in AC OR AB, which is what the front springs have. Anyone on here a tech or Ram cares employee that can see if maybe once the springs got replaced that maybe it has the wrong upper control arms? So far to date all springs are changed, both front upper control arms and both sway bar end links. Truck only has 10k on it and been batting this problem for a while now. Absolutely love the truck just want the noise gone!
