2 months ago I installed the front wards helper spring fix. Now my right rear shocks sometimes squeks when I run over minor bumps. Any one else have this problem. thanks

I remember someone else posting about fixing a squeeking shock by replacing it with a real rubber boot. Search away.

I had a squeek and it turned out to be leaf spring, not shock. Sprayed a little wd40 on it and all was fine.

That could be my problem I will try to wd 40 it and see if the squeek goes away. Thanks

Hi, was reading about your squeek and here is a link that has a picture of where a lot of us have to periodically lube.

I did a write up on this about a month ago. The fake hard plastic rancho boots were rubbing against my shocks causing a high pitch squeek. I removed the cheap plastic boots and replaced them with real rancho rubber boots. Squeek fixed. Plus it looks and function a lot better then the cheap look alikes.

I would take it to the dealer....let them test it and if it is under warranty...let them replace it. Might want to take the helper/clamp springs off first.
Peace-Tom
