Silicone Grease is the best option to lubricate Polyurethane bushings and hard rubber parts and prevent premature Leaf Spring Wear and squeak or squeaking.
How to Service and Lubricate your Leaf Spring Packs to prevent the noisy squeaking and damaged Rubber Inserts in the suspension.
To correctly lubricate leaf spring packs that don't have grease fittings, Any Grease will do, but Silicone-Based grease is the best choice albeit the most expensive. It is also called Dielectric Grease. The one i use is Permatex.
You can also use Liquid Grease in Spray: It sprays as a penetrating oil and then it thickens itself into a grease. There are many brands that have this kind of products, like Liquid Wrench, Liqui Moly , WD40 or so, but the one I'm using is Wurth HHS 2000.
This can also be used in any suspension bushings that make noise and can't be greased with fittings. Chevrolet Silverado GMC Sierra tacoma tundra Toyota ford f150 Dodge Ram
If the squeak doesnt go away you may need to replace rubber bushings

I've never seen this done or would have thought to do it. Interesting. I'll have to give it a try.

I use graphite spray. graphite doesn't attract or hold dirt or dust. it's very slippery when both sides are coated, works well under extreme pressure and lasts quite a while.

Any one in particular?

@@BenBroker -- i don't have a brand preference, though i'm sure some might have more product in the formulation than others. i use jig a loo graphite extreme. works on my triumph spitfire transverse rear spring perfectly. as well i used it as a coating for the exhaust manifold. takes a couple years for it to slowly wear away, but a quick respray and the manifold looks brand new again.

So far this channel has answered every question even forums can’t answer. What transmission are you running and is anything done to it? I like the crisp shifts

Does lubricant also reduce resistance like a parabolic spring?

@Tadders Год назад

Does this apply if you live in the Rust Belt of America? There's so much rust and crap down there I don't think grease is going to help

@BadAssEngineering Год назад

Showering the whole underside of the truck on used motor oil seems like a good idea

@Tadders Год назад

@@BadAssEngineering yeah people have done that around here, but it washes off from the salt pretty quickly (it acts as an abrasive or something, rubs anything you put on it right off). Idkfam

@juhakoivisto3849 2 года назад

Does this make the suspension softer, more supple?

@BadAssEngineering 2 года назад

Not really, just quieter

@MrSenorChato Год назад

Did you only apply to the tip of the leaf or the entirety of the leaf?

@BadAssEngineering Год назад

Some Leafs have plastic sliders on the tips, you put it on the contact points between the leafs. Some leafs touch the whole length that means the whole thing

Copy and paste from Eaton Detroit Spring, Inc website (established in 1937) Starting in the mid 50’s the steel used to make springs began to change over to SAE 5160 which does not like petroleum based products, grease/oil/etc. Petroleum based products deteriorate the steel causing premature failure. A great way to demonstrate this is to look at the front springs on a heavy duty truck that is leaning in the front. There is a 99% chance that the spring on the low side is coated in oil and or grease. Prior to the change the type steel used was not effected by much of anything. In fact, the center section of the spring was designed so the spring could be greased through the centerbolt and the grease would be spread to each leaf. This is one of the few times you should ignore what the manual is telling you.
