Les schwab is telling me to grease the back side of my brake pads where they touch the inner part of the brakes on my rear drums. There will be no grease on the pads just the inner side. Saying that will stop the squeeking from my brakes. How does this idea sound? Pads and drums are brand new.

I have 3 inch without the isolators. I hear my springs hit my front sway bar brackets once in a while.

But does that sound like a good idea? To put it on the inner side?

yes, it's standard practice...just avoid getting any on the pad surface

Does it happen when you hit a bump? When its lifted it pulls the sway bar links closer to the coils. Look and see if its touching the coils

probably ball joints or track bar end, but maybe control arm bushings as well

I didn't notice the driver side part. My track bar bushing does this when I turn to the left a bit. My adjustable trac bar is newer and the bushings are toast. When I turn it pulls the trac bar up and makes the pop

I park on a concrete slab behind the house and there is a step down and then step up to it that i crawl over. It pops going down the drop. It also pops sparadically on dry pavement when im stopped and shake the steering wheel back and forth...

yup sounds like a track bar issue for sure. Guess you need a new one - may as well upgrade to adjustable.

My brain is mush right now. Remind me which one the track bar is
Edit: thats the bar that locates/centers the front axle under the jeep?
