Squeaking?? Leafs or mount bushings.

Anyone have any thoughts on where this squeaking is coming from. The video doesn’t help much but it’s isolated in this rear passenger side where the leaf attaches and body mount is. The mounts look pretty good so not sure why they would be acting up??

I hit it all with some wd40 just to see if that stopped it. No luck there.

Ubolts loose,

need to use new ones when you change leafs and torque them to spec.

that would make sense as the squeaking started after I had the new suspension and lift put in. I keep taking it back to see if they could help me fix it but they kept brushing me off. The Ubolts should all be new so I’ll just torque them down again. I found the specks online.

thanks!

I agree with Pirate. The bushings look brand new. When you purchased your springs, you should have received instructions as to what mileage you need to recheck the torque specs.

super optimistic about this. I’ll give it a shot and see what I can do. I had suspension done at a shop so I don’t have access to specs. I found a video with some specs.
