'06 42K miles WTF SUSPENSION????

I took my truck to the dealer yesterday. My rear suspension sounds like a 100 year old rusty bed in a whore house. They did the "whatever" way back when and now say......"Sorry, we can't do anything for you. The answer is new rear leaf springs but at 1k per side we asume you don't want to do that..." This is absurd, what the hell? For 1k I think I could get an OME set up but not sure if that includes springs, if I had the money which I DO NOT!

Anyone? it's a 2006 XTD Cab 4x4 TRD. I am pissed.

 

Here's what I'm getting when I do my suspension: http://www.4x4review.com/Reviews/Pr...ManEmuDakarLeafSprings/tabid/461/Default.aspx

Might reducing your hauling capacity, if that matters to you.

 

$375/pair from wheeler's

 

if it is sqeeky spray wd40 on them see how that works.

 

Might want to stay away from the WD-40. It'll only attract more crap to contribute to the noise making later... You could get new leaf packs AND shocks for the left AND right for less than $1000...don't give the stealership your money

 

good point

 

There is a TSB out for this, check the thread out below.

This seems to be becoming a more common issue with people. Mine have been squeaky for quite some time now but I have yet to get around do doing anything about it.

mine sound like death
i took the wheels off, sprayed the springs out with a pressure washer, dried them, took out the silencer pads and scrubbed/lubed them too.. used a pop stick to spread grease between the leaf springs....still squeeeeeeks!
wtf!
atleast when i sprayed them down with wd40 the sound went away for 3 weeks
