Anyone have a cure for squeaky rear springs and bushings? WD-40 only works for a short period of time.

Try high pressure water to clean them out. Often it's dirt that's caught in there that creates the squeak.

I took the clamps off mine and greased the plastic pads that sit in between the leafs. Then put them back together. Seemed to work.

Wash the leafs out as best you can, then use the WD40 white lithium grease spray, then wrap them in duct tape for a few days and drive it around.


Can't make it through the day? Back up, and get a run at it!
