squacking front leafs are back

had the front isolators on my 01 front leaf springs replaced last year by my dealer ( cant remember the part no.) But now that its cold out again the squacking is back every time I hit a dip or bump. It will go away as soon as it warms up some.Has anyone heard of or know of a fix.
Thanks in advance
Laudy

I just had my front springs rebushed and the guys that did the work put a small piece of rubber between the leafs where they are clamped together near the bushings. When I asked why they did that they told me to was to keep the spring chatter down. Now I have never noticed any chatter before until my bushings went bad so maybe this is whats happening to your truck??? Just a thought.
