Rear Squeaking Leaf springs

Anyone else have loud squeaking on rear leaf springs or suspension???

 

I do... Only on the driver side. Weird and it comes and goes but is always there.
I was gonna have it checked but ima swapping them out in afew weeks. Goodluck man

 

Think it’s leaf springs?

 

Very possible. Try wd40 hahaha

 

Just fluid film them . Swapping out springs doesn't work to well either . My dakars did it too after about a month . Fluid film did the trick . Did the whole undercarriage as well but that was after the beach and brackish water trips with it up to the door weather strips. I love this thing.

Fyi no wet carpet.

 

I had this issue on a '95 taco. Common issue.

 

Much appreciated

 

Your absolutely right. It's really just a leaf spring thing. Same with my 81.

 

Same problem same side too. Comes and goes with the weather for me. I usually slab some grease where the springs meet the bolts usually solves it for a couple weeks.

 

That's why I prefer fluid film it stays wet . It lasts longer . 3m cavity wax works too.

 

There’s a bracket on the leafs as well that runs vertical on both sides of the ubolts. It’s suppose to have a plastic piece that prevents metal on metal. If the plastic is worn it will rub the leafs, causing very loud squeaking. A hammer fixes this

 

TSB 0273-17 Rear Suspension Silencer Pad Squeak Noise. It's in the stickys at the top of third gen section.

 

It took too treatments of a dry lube and heavy doses of dust. Squeaks gone.

 

You can get these plus grease up the metal spacers between each leaf
