Squeaky Leafs??

[stirling33]

The rear of my mustang makes squeaking noises while driving over bigger bumps so I assummed it was the bad shocks. So I recently replaced all 4 corners with KYB Gas-Adjust's and the rear end still squeaks. I think I have narrowed it down to the rear leafs and was wondering if there was anything I can put on them to get rid of the squeak until I replace them.

Sounds like the bushings. Throw some of those Del Alum bushings in there, I doubt it would squeek anymore.

The leafs normally have something between them to keep them from squeeking. Speaking of leaf springs in general, some have plastic discs on the ends, others have rubber or plastic strips between them. That being said, I don't recall anything being between my springs on my '65 coupe. You could take the springs out, take them apart, clean them up, paint them and bolt them back together while putting axle grease between the leafs, then wipe them down once your done.
