Just to suggest something simple and easy to try: I try to do this also 2
times a year, sometimes more. I spray the leaf spring pack(s) down with
some Penetrant Lube which has Dupont Teflon in it, as well as where the
leafs attach to the frame, this keeps everything moving freely without
binding; noise free also at 115,000 miles.
