    Hey everyone, so I’m tired of dealing with leaf spring squeaks from my Icon RXTs. While I’m currently saving up for some Deaver Stage I, I was wondering if it would be possible to add some sort of poly or metal spacer on both sides of the front spring bushing where it connect to the frame to fix the metal on metal contact. Same for the shackle bolts.

    Sweet thank you, I’ll try doing those steps. I retorque the bolts every so often and it seems to stop the squeak from the drivers side but the passenger sounds like an old mattress lol.
