My 03 zr2 s10 has a few problems...I cant really recall how long its been going on but I'm not sure if the problems are related and would like to get them fixed.
1.the driver side of my truck is lower then the passenger side. Its not too much but definitely noticeable if you look closely at it.
2. My trucks squeals. It always different and hard to tell what going on. Some times it squeals when i turn and some times when i brake. It gets extremely bad when I'm turning the wheel right. usually after turning or braking it squeals for a bit then it stops after i go straight. It also sometimes makes the noise when hitting bumps or potholes.
3. Someone suggested it may be my ball joints. I just had them replaced a few months ago because i was off roading like and idiot. I still off road a bit and it gets caked in mud often.I noticed the squealing coming back after a little bit and its getting progressively worse.
Otherwise my truck seems the same driving. It doesn't feel like it has a problem, but i don't want to take a risk because i have to drive it on the jersey parkway everyday for school and don't want something going wrong there. If anybody has had similar problems or know whats going on could please help me.


Is your truck stock height or has it been lifted? Standard tires or oversized?
Squealing in turns can indicate front end / ball joint problems, but I've seen under inflated tires do the same thing.
Odd that un-even ride height. Do you normally overload the drivers side?
I have a couple of large bed slide boxes in my work truck and I purposely offset them to the right side to counteract the 250 lb that is in the drivers seat.![]()

my 04 squeeked pretty bad usually when i turned left.i took the front wheels off and sprayed all the brake components really well with brake cleaner to clean all the mud and brake dust out.havent heard it since.it might be worth a try?as for the drivers side sitting low i have no idea.sounds like a suspension problem?

Stock Suspension no lift. I have cooper discoverer stt tires 30".As for the break cleaning I'm definitely going to give that a shot.I really hope its not the ball joints i don't feel like having to pay to get those replaced again when i just did it.I haven't overloaded the driver side. I don't really think the uneven stance is a problem it just bugs me when i look at it from the front.

the only thing i can think of is your drivers side torsion bar isnt cranked as much as it should be to level out with the passenger side.i may be wrong though
