pl521sss Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I have this high pitch squeeking soundnoise coming from the back of my 521. And it sounds like it's coming from the leaf springs themselves. Only thing I can think of that could possibly make that noise is when those springs rub on each other when the load is onoff like when I'm driving. Doesn't happen when I'm at a stop. Haven't replaced those bushings on the shackles yet so it couldn't be those ones from a polyurethane. Checked for loose bolts, none found. Any advise from the gurus would be helpful It's very annoying driving around with a squeek. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Is your 521 lowered? Did you remove any leafs? Try putting some rubber pads between the leafs, that should stop the noise. It also may be worn leaf bushings causing it. Quote Link to comment

So leaf springs are known to make those squeeking sound? Searched this forum and didn't find anyone having this issue. Quote Link to comment
Fineline Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Did you get your swaybar hooked up yet? If so theres poly in those. What about the new shocks? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 If a leaf has been flipped it's probably putting extra pressure/rubbing on the other ones, possibly causing the noise. Pics would help. Quote Link to comment
pl521sss Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Did you get your swaybar ooked up yet? If so theres poly in those. I aborted that install. Caused me grief on my brake lines. Actually, I'll probably sell the rear bar. It actually handles well even without the rear bars. Quote Link to comment
