Default Got a Squeaker.
One of my rear springs stared to squeak yesterday. It's pretty loud over bumps. Any suggestions to make it stop.

I use silicon spray. It's cleaner than WD-40.

I'd check all 4 bolts to make sure they're ok, then re-tourque. I'd bet the squeaking will stop

I've seen the Chrome Strut cover Squeek before...(more than once) where the upper shock bolt goes through the Strut Cover.. Had to loosen the top shock bolt and make sure the spacer was dead center in the hole of the strut cover. One more thing to check.
