SPRING SQUEEK

My 2nd dumpster fire thread got locked almost instantly, but somehow the smitty thread lives on...

 

mine often squeak after power washing them. so while that will help clean them out, you'll probably need more. what do you all smear in there to keep them from squeaking? vicks vapor rub work?

 

Nlgi 2 lithium based grease. It persists and resists water washout. Sag the wheels so the springs start to spread a little and then pry them further with a big flathead screwdriver or pry bar and smear some of that grease on the leafs where they rub and touch each other.

Squeaks been gone for over a year since I did that. And I get dusty, muddy, snowy and rainy off road.

Edit: and water crossings.

 

Good tip. I've just been squirting fluid film in there. I'll try this next oci.
