Rear Spring Plastic Sqeek Silencer (Too Much Torque!)

[HDH]

Hey,

Do any of you Guys know if and where I can buy a Replacement Plastic Thing-a-ma-bob silencer that goes in between the individual rear leafs on the rear spring packs?

I must have too Much Torque and have had the trucks Suspension Flexed to far for the Rear Spring Sqeek Silencer to handle.

Now its Gone and the Sqeek and Growning from the rear springs at slow speeds is annoying me. Deal wants $350 per spring pack!

Any Help out there?

Thanks.

Doug.

I had the same problem and then I had the TSB done on my truck. It is a world of difference now, n more squeak.



I did have to take the truck to a different dealer for service, the local *****dealer did not want to do the work. Thank the good Lord because I do not trust them anyway. Took it to the dealership where I purchased the truck and they were happy to do the work. They just took my word, ordered the parts and installed them.

Rear Springs would be an easy job IMHO. Support the truck by the frame and let the rear end hang. Put something under the rear axle to support it. Remove springs... . and reinstall. Only about 6 nuts/bolts per side if I am not mistaken.

Any truck spring shop should have them on hand...

Look in the yellow pages under springs.
