Squeeky leaf springs in the rear

[pipert]

I have a dual cab LN167R hilux which has leaf springs in the rear. There is a slight squeek noise when I'm turning corners or I'm offroad. Is it recommended to grease up the joints in the leaf springs?

you can get greasable shackle pins (if you havent already), some times its the actual leaf pack macking noise

Thanks mate, I don't think mine are greasable shackle pins unfortunately.

If you look from downwards to the leaves, do they have a hole, and if so, do they have a kind of rubber thing between. If so thy cleaning the leaves and using a grease gun in the holes. Best if they dont have to carry any weight.

If there issn´t such a rubber thing, dont worry. Clean the leaves and put some motocross chain lube between.
Best if the wheel is hanging, not touching the ground.

The squeek should be gone after this.
