    Squeaking Problem! Need help!

    My truck has a bad squeaking noise coming from the rear suspension i cant figure out what it is! I have a 2'' Drop shackles on it and about 9 months after i put them on it started! One of my friends said it was probally my shocks. I have greased all the bushings and unbolted and re-alined my rear housing to the leaf springs.

    That's what I've heard about the shackles. Too bad there's not really anything to do about it.

    we had that squeak problem on the 07 classic's rear springs. I took a large prybar and spread the springs apart in the spring pack on the passenger side and put some wheel bearing grease between the leafs at the ends of the them and the squeak went away.

    spray some of the foaming WD-40 between the leafs and it will stop for a while, but come back.
