    Is it coming from the rear? Do you have the 4 leaf pack? If not check into the TSB.

    4 leaf paks squeak!! Its a "flaw" in the manufacture of the springs. The ends of the leafs rub on each other. My dealer greased them and it stopped, probably not permanent but I know how they did it. I saw a post on this site or TN where some one actually removed the springs, took them apart and put a neoprene bushing between the leafs!
