Squeaky coil springs
My front coil springs squeak. I have sprayed Wd40 on them which helps for a little while, but the squeak returns. Truck is lowered. Does anyone else have this issue ?

Re: Squeaky coil springs
If I were to hazard a guess, I believe either your springs may be moving around in the spring pockets, or you have some coils are touching and they squeak as they move against each other.
Maybe some photos will help folks get to source of the squeaks.

Re: Squeaky coil springs
There is lots of busy stuff under there.. Are you sure it's the springs?? Could be ball joint(s).. Upper or lower control arm shaft trunnions (there's four of those on each side).. Instead of spraying WD-40, break out the grease gun and give EVERY zerk fitting a shot.

Re: Squeaky coil springs
I put "grease free" graphite bushing in my 68 impala, then i found little packs of white grease in the box. apparently i was supposed to grease them before I put them in... sounds like someone is getting busy in the hotel room next door when im goin down the road.
