Squeak when braking from suspension

04 F250 SD. When I come to a stop I can hear squeaking... Sounds like grandmas rocking chair. From a quick glance the sway bar bushings look good. Sounds like its coming from the leafs...

Suggestions?

Thanks
-Nick

Check the torque on the ubolts and spray the pivot points with a light oil and see if the squeaking subsides.

Lube is your best friend, make sure everything is lubed right...and I completely agree with the torque on the U bolts, if your over 100k on the truck make sure your U bolts aren't bent too

Ill take a look at them... I kinda glanced at them the other day and they did not seem bent, but not sure about being torqued still. What are the torque specs for them?
