Leaf Spring Squeak

Leaf Spring Squeak

I'm starting the official thread here as well,

Please add yourself to the list if your rear leaf springs squeak over bumps and rough terrain. Also, if you have any good fixes for this problem, please share them, as I feel like I've tried everything and mine still squeaks.

The longest fix I had was to remove both rear wheels, and both shocks...simple green the absolutely sh!t out of the leaf packs, and use a Dry Moly Lube very heavily on them. It took a couple days, but the squeak did finally go away...within a couple of months it was back.

Please...Take away the squeaking! Sounds like a d@mn chipmunk is under there mocking me.

hahaha there is nothing to it but LOTS AND LOTS OF LUBE

yupp mine does too i heard its somthing with a bushing on the shocks installed wrong?? but im not 100% sure.

Andy, got your voice mail, but a few days late, i was sick all weekend so any wheeling trips before it snows?

Just put some fatass in the bed when off-roading, or going over rough roads.



I have it to a mild extent.

just get a lounder exhuast

As much as I wish that would solve the problem, it won't. ...this squeak is VERY high pitched...even with some hard-core black metal blasting in the cab, I can hear it.

Three words for you, Andy:

Subwoofer FROM HELL!!!

ROFL! Couple of W7's hangin' out in the back?

deeb's i hate you now my truck is having the same problem's as your's on this noise.. Ill replace all the dam shocks now....

See, that's the thing... I don't think it is the shocks... because when I pulled the rear shocks out and tested them they didn't make any noise. I have a feeling it is either the leaf pack itself or the bushings in the spring hangers.

Or maybe it's just the drivers with those few extra pounds?
