Spring Noise

Heard noises coming from my left rear so I sprayed the spring with some grease and it stopped... Does this mean I have to get new springs?

No, sometimes the Teflon pads in between the springs get worn. Try pressure washing the springs to get the gunk out from in between and then grease with sprayable grease. Mine squeak every now and then but a good cleaning and lube prevents it from reoccuring too often.

Another thing is the bushings. Lube them with sprayable silicone.

Could this be due to the cold? I get some pretty crazy squeaks as I climb into my truck in this single digit cold. Figured it was kind of a nature of the beast sort of thing.
