Leaf spring awful squeak

Showing 5 out of 5 Posts
Question From comnavguy on Leaf spring awful squeak

I just did rear brake shoes on an 89 Dodge Caravan -awful awful job. The brake job went well and all of that is OK.

I jacked the vehicle on the leaf spring on both sides, but on the driver's side there is a horrible squeak with just the slightest movement of the van.

A can of WD 40 and it's still bad.

ANY suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Response From Hammer Time

Have you determined exactly what spot is causing the problems?

Response From Tom Greenleaf

??!! To add:

">I jacked the vehicle on the leaf spring on both sides, but on the driver's side there is a horrible squeak with just the slightest movement of the van.<"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is this to say you used the spring itself to jack up the vehicle? NOT good if so. Find and use hoisting/jacking spots for each vehicle or damage could result. Did you break a shackle - something else?

Most OE leaf type springs come with nylon to keep them quiet. Light years ago we used to routinly oil them and I still do but it really isn't necessary like back when,

>>Light years ago we used to routinly oil them<< Some, even had grease fittings!

Response From Tom Greenleaf Top Rated Answer

NSDT = NO SH*T Dick TRACY. Holy crap Loren! Are we the last remaining archives for once was? Bacon fat for grease and and all that good stuff! Fisher was a wheel right company before fueled engines! Was a wagon wheel company the was bought by GM way back. They continued making wooden wheels thinking motor cars would be a passing fad!

Converting from Leaf Springs to Coil Spring (1998 s-10 chevy)

Showing 5 out of 5 Posts
Question From ratrace2 on Converting from Leaf Springs to Coil Spring (1998 s-10 chevy)

Hello all you crazy "Wrench spinners":
1998 Chevy S-10 (2wd) 2.2L (MFI) 120" W.B.


Can someone point me in the right direction?

I hate my leaf springs--spills my coffee--, I want to convert over to a coil-over shock system, "thingy".......
No airbags please.

Response From Loren Champlain Sr

Ratrace; I know of no 'conversion' possible from leaf to coil springs. The coil-over shocks are going to make it worse. Might try some sandbags in the bed of the truck? Pickups just don't ride 'nice' when unladen.

Response From re-tired Top Rated Answer

There are no bolt on kits i know of. However I have done several, both with bags and springs .It requires a 5 llink set up , and a bit if geometry math to square things up . And a lot of welding . Loren's idea about the sand bag weights may be your best buy . Or buy a crossover for a car ride.

Response From ratrace2

Question From moonbaby on 1988 GMC rear end diagram

Have a 1988 GMC SWB fleetside truck. Some kid tried to lower the truck - to lower it he put the rear end "over" the leaf springs. I am trying to find out where to get a diagram to show me how the rear end should be set up to put it back to stock height. They replaced the ball joints and a-frame in the front and put it back to stock height, just not the rear end yet. Can anyone help?

Leaf springs would be under the differential housing. They may have used longer "U" bolts and a block there or longer items at each end of the leaf spring. Just glance at an untouched one and that will show what was changed to modify this one,

Question From JennyLynnb87 on Rear Leaf Springs

This am I noticed a piece of something sticking up through our 2006 Nissan Titan truck bed. My husband looked and found it to be the rear leaf spring broken and the wheel thingy at the end punched through the truck bed. Any idea how this happened? Any idea how much to fix this? If it wasn't for bad luck we would have none at all! Thanks in advance. Jenny

Without knowing exactly what is broken or missing it's hard to give an exact estimate. you're basically going to have to see what is missing/broken & replace it.

Hopefully just a shackle bolt fell out and aside from the bed damage you'll just have to replace a bolt & nut.........
