Default Squeaky Rear Suspension!!!

Does anyone else have a really squeaky rear suspension? I have greased it up a dozen times and it goes away for a while just to come back. This is getting annoying. I am thinking about taking it up to the dealership and see what they will do, I doubt they would replace the rear suspension (shocks and leafs), but its worth a try.

I used to have same problem. As far as I know there really is no fix. If it is the same noise as what I had it is the squeaking from the leafspring pack rubbing together?? You could try replacing but it will eventually start doing it again.

I had the same problem what I did was take some graphite and put some in between the leaf springs. It helps instantly but it will return in about 3 months. I got tired of doing that, so I got some window shims (those pieces of wood that are used to level a window and door frame) and smacked them in between the leaf spring to seperate them a little. Does not squeak no more. Kind of Ghetto but worked. Oh and I did paint them black to kind of match the leaf springs

You know what I would try and might work, is putting some spring clamps on the front of the axles, I bet that would aid in seperating the spring a little in the back and keep them from rubbing. Might Help
