Creaking sound after drive
Took my truck on the first drive in a while, only a spin around the block. Afterwards it’s making a creaking noise (see attached video). My shocks are trashed so I’m thinking that’s the culprit. Any help would be great.

If you can reproduce it take a section of 5/8” or 3/4” rubber heater hose about 2-3 feet long or a reasonable facsimile. Hold one end up to your ear while you hold the other end to each shock in turn and see if that’s where the sound is coming from. It’s a homemade stethoscope. Sounds are easier to pinpoint using the hose in this way. If not the shocks start moving the end of the hose to other areas. Try it! Usually works pretty well.
