Leaf Squeak

FWIW, I fixed my squeak. I installed an AAL about 6 months or so ago and developed a squeak where it was rubbing on the other leafs. I took a screwdriver and drove it inbetween the aal and the leafpack and took some industrial rubber corkboard I have lying around and put it in there. Needless to say no more squeak. Easy fix. The hard part was figuring out where the squeak is located.

My trucks new and never had this problem but my friend has a 99 i think. His leaf springs have like nylon pads or something in between them to keep them from rubbing. Well after time those things wear down and need to be replaced thats what he had to do and that fixed it. I'm not sure if it is the same with the new trucks, to tell you the truth I have never looked at mine.

mine dont sqeak but i have this horrific clunk from my right side rear leafs when i go over speed bumps. it sounds like the leafs are banging on the blocks, as if the u-bolts are loose or something. but nothing looks abnormal. anyone else have this or know what it could be? it started around 60k i have 70k now.

At 40,000 it came back. They replaced the leaf springs again. Now at 63,000 miles its back. It is like clockwork.
