    Hello,

    I just had the TSB for squeaky leafs (T-SB-0273-17- http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb/) done at the dealership and the squeak has actually worsened.

    Admittedly it was better upon leaving the facility but over 2-3 days it came right back.

    I'm not as mechanically savy as others but I've read that throwing some grease down in there might not actually solve the problem. Can someone recommend what this could possibly be since the dealership supposedly added the dampeners to my leafs?

    -THANKS!

    It worked for me. Try using a bunch of fluid film on your springs.

    Tacomaholic has a YouTube video on his channel about using fluid film on his springs.

    So I found out the problem.... the spare tire was not seated all the way up and would wiggle a little.
