Search Auto Parts Search Leaf spring awful squeak Sign up here!   Email This Post Auto Repair Home>> Truck Repair>> Truck Suspension Repair comnavguy User May 27, 2009, 9:35 AM Post #1 of 5 (6107 views) Leaf spring awful squeak Sign In I just did rear brake shoes on an 89 Dodge Caravan -awful awful job. The brake job went well and all of that is OK. I jacked the vehicle on the leaf spring on both sides, but on the driver's side there is a horrible squeak with just the slightest movement of the van. A can of WD 40 and it's still bad. ANY suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

To add: ">I jacked the vehicle on the leaf spring on both sides, but on the driver's side there is a horrible squeak with just the slightest movement of the van.<" ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is this to say you used the spring itself to jack up the vehicle? NOT good if so. Find and use hoisting/jacking spots for each vehicle or damage could result. Did you break a shackle - something else? Most OE leaf type springs come with nylon to keep them quiet. Light years ago we used to routinly oil them and I still do but it really isn't necessary like back when, T Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator May 29, 2009, 4:25 PM Post #4 of 5 (6079 views) Re: Leaf spring awful squeak Sign In >>Light years ago we used to routinly oil them<< Some, even had grease fittings!
