I had the same squeak months backs, thought it was a shock or leaf only to come to find it ws the line running thru the curly-Q in the rear drivers wheel well. can't recall if it was a brake line or not at this moment. the line had a rubber boot on it and it would rub the curly-Q causing the squeak.

Finally got to the autoparts store that had a code reader, someone has been stealing them from some stores... Threw codes P0171, 0174, 0442, all twice for 6 total. I took the TB spacer off and cleared the codes to see if it comes back. Would the spacer cause these or should I start looking elsewhere?
