    Howdy All,
    A few questions for the crew....

    Just wondering what types of grease / lubrication you would recommend for both diagnosis of suspension squeak and general maintenance of suspension. (front and rear)

    *Lithium or silicone ?
    *Best option for quieting RXT leaf pack ?

    Thanks for reading.

    Turns out my squeak was the rigid light bar mount rubbing on the front crossmember.
    Problem solved. :thumbsup::)

    The leafs squeak like crazy. Hahahaha!
    Any dirt in there and they get LOUD!
    Tried lithium grease. Works for a bit.
    Tried cleaning them out really well. Works for a bit.
    Just cleaned them really well, blew them out with air and sprayed with fluid film..... not even dirty yet and still squeaky.
    Haven’t tried a Teflon product yet....
    I’ll post if I find anything. o_O

    Gotta get the protection on before Canada winter shows up. :canada:

    Fluid film and lithium grease seems to have helped 90% of the leaf pack squeak. :thumbsup::yes:
