Shackle Squeak? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,

This last weekend I replaced the bushings in my leafsprings with some stock rubber ones. Well there was no squeak at all, last night I was showing someone and it started squeaking really really loud. I got under the truck and it seems to be coming from the shackle, when I loosen up that bolt the squeak takes longer to notice (pushing up and down on the truck).

The shackle has a uthrane type bushing not 100% sure. Is it possible, thats the problem and I should replace that one with rubber ones as well?
