    Hello all! Did some wheeling this weekend and heard some creaking noise coming from what it appears to be the rear leafs when the axel flexes. 1 week before the trip, i did re-tighten the u-bolts with an impact gun. I'd like to see if anyone else has experienced this or has some suggestions. I also sprayed the springs with wd-40 on the trail when it started, but it didn't seem to help. I bought the springs used and this was the first time out doing anything with significant flex/articulation. on the road, they do not make any noise. Thanks!!
