Hi All.

 

My Loyale Wagon has recently developed a squeak coming from the rear springs/shocks.

 

They are only 8 months old so they are not in bad shape they just squeak while driving (my street is a little bumpy so its pretty annoying).

 

Anyone have any ideas what I could be and how I could fix it.

 

Thanks Alot.

I would try lubin' up the chassis in the back... In one of the manuals, either the FSM or the HTKYSA, it tells you how to lube it up. That's where I would start.

Will do thanks.

I got the same problem.

 

Let me know how it goes. I gotta get to lubin' i guess

Does that model have coil over struts ? I believe it does , sometimes the coils get dry/rusty and develope a squeak where they rest up against the spring seats . Try spraying some of that spray lube stuff ( preferably with teflon in it , if you find some ) around the top and bottoms of the spring seats and see if that doesnt help . The cans usually come with a little plastic straw so you can really get in there and give it a good soaking . Also a shot of spray silicone on all the rubbers couldnt hurt either .

 

Good luck ... squeaks are annoying as hell

Turns out the struts/springs were just dry (its summer here and its been around 100 degrees Fahrenheit here all week.)

 

bathed them in WD-40 and no more sqeak

looks like i'll be grabbing up some spray lube.......

 

 

cause it's annoying in my rig.

dont use wd-40.. it dont really work for lubrication.. WD = water displacement formula 40. The only real lubrication it has in it is fish oil (we used absorbent rags soaked in WD-40 for halibut bait when we are out sport fishing)

 

The best thing for lube that actually sticks and stays is Corrosion-X. its a bit spendy but its worth the 15 bucks. We use it on marine applications and it stands up to constant salt water spray and doesnt wash, rinse or wear off.
