It never used to be such a big problem, but the deavers on my truck have gotten really annoying lately. All KINDS of popping, squeaking, and tinging noises coming from the leafs. From some of the other topics I've read on here, I'm beginning to suspect the bushings. It's a spring over, shackle under kit. I'm curious as to what I can do to either find or eliminate the problem??
I know it's not a great picture of the topic, but it's all I've got at the moment.
If it IS the bushings, should I buy Delrins or Deaver's Baja Bushings? And what should I use for the lower bushings on the shackles? Delrins as well?
I've been trying to track down what's making these noises forever, and I know it's not the frame, the cage, the axle, the driveshaft, or the shocks. I'm 90% sure it's the leafs. Anybody have any experience with what can be done to help quiet down the rear end? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
