Have fitted new 5 leaf springs to the rearend on my Camaro. (use to be single leaf)
Handling has improved out of sight but they are bloody noisy ! If I hit a minor bump in the road I get a SQUEAK.
Can they be lubricated ?? Any ideas to shut them up ?
Annoying the crap at of me

Try greasing alll the bushes.. are they poly bushes??

Mine squeaks when you bounce it up and down.... need to lube all the bushes again!

Have you torqued to spec with the car at it's natural ride height?

Any powder coated brackets in contact with the bushings?

Usually those types of bushes come with a very thick, clear, sticky lubricant. Perhaps these ones don't.??
I'd send an email to the manufacturer and ask them if they were supposed to, or what to use.
