Squeaky Rear Suspension

[kenacp]

Put a lift kit in my Club Car some time back. Every little bump, I now get a squeak. Think it is coming from the bushings in my leaf springs. Can I spray them with something like silicone lube? Don't want to make them worse.
Thanks

That shouldn’t hurt anything. It might be hard to get it between the sleeve and the rubber bushing though if that’s where it’s squeaking.

I just did the same thing. Use a good silicon spray and squirt both sides. Put a piece of cardboard on the floor under the area as it will drip everywhere. Took the squeak right out of my rear leaf spring suspension.

If it's got HD springs it doesn't need the shocks. Gust guessing I bet new lift kit and bigger wheels? If so the shocks are getting more range than they are used to. They make better shocks that are ment to absorb more force/play otherwise the grease may help. Once I put my HD leafs on I had the same problem.

Thanks for the replies. Med. duty springs with aftermarket shocks.(Monroe's from Auto Zone). Will give them a shot of lube and see.....
