So I have been searching for a squeak coming from the rear end of my truck for the past couple weeks, it has been driving me insane! The squeak would only happen at 30+ mph going over small bumps, I had sprayed everything with white lithium grease and nothing.
Finally I decided to pull off my rear spacers and this is what I found. On the sides the coils have been rubbing into the spacers on both sides. I removed and rest drove my truck and sure enough the squeak was gone.
Because I tow alot I hace re-installed them, I used a cloth adhesive tape around the sides to prevent squeaking temporarily until I find a solution.
It's possible because they are aluminum that the steel coil is rubbing through? I might try to order a set of steel spacers instead or save up for the larger coils with no spacers.
I just wanted to share this with everyone because it had been driving me crazy! And a heads up to those of you with aluminum rear spacers!
