My rear suspension makes an annoying squeak whenever I hit a bump. its been doing that ever since I put my Skyjacker leafsprings in. I thought it would eventually go away, but hasnt. Is there anything I should lube or adjust to make it stop?

Its not a huge deal, just a minor annoyance. Anyone else have this problem?

 

bushings? or your shocks?

 

i dont think its the shocks. theyre the superlift shocks and they were fine untill i put the new leafsprings in...

only bushings i know of are the ones for the shocks. ill check that out.

 

Mine squeaks like that when I have my ATV in the back. It's really annoying.

 

stock?

 

Yeah stock springs and shocks. It only squeaks when I have like 500 lbs in the back though. I haven't really tried to figure out what's doing the squeaking yet. I assumed it was the leafsprings but I haven't checked it out.

 

mine squeaks when I go over speed bumps... more of a low tone not a high pitch squeak...

 

i would guess the bushings for your leafsprings. im not sure the right way to do it, but i would throw some grease on the bolts and see what happens

 

thats when i hear mine the most. speedbumps. its not too loud or high pitched, but definately loud enough to hear in a closed cab, stereo off.

im gonna put some grease on the leaf spring eye holes and see if that works.

 

Yeah it's most likely the bushings on eyes of the leafs. They are probably poly bushings, you might be able to find a specific poly bushing lube but if you cant just go to Napa and buy some stuff called sil-glyde.

 

Thanks dude.

 

yeah I can hear mine do it w/o the radio on, guess its getting older :-(
