Fix Colorado / Canyon Leaf Spring Squeak – Fast DIY Noise Repair
If your Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon has an annoying leaf spring squeak — especially when driving slowly, going over bumps, or backing out of a driveway — you’re not alone. These mid-size trucks are well-known for rear suspension squeaks, and the good news is: you can fix it in minutes without grease, shop fees, or replacing parts.
The Spring-Things® Kit eliminates Colorado/Canyon leaf spring squeaks fast using a simple, proven DIY solution trusted by truck owners across the U.S.
⭐ Common Colorado & Canyon Squeak Symptoms
Owners usually report:
- Squeaking from the rear suspension
- Chirping noise at low speeds
- Squeaking when entering or exiting driveways
- Noise when hitting small bumps or uneven pavement
- Leaf springs rubbing together when the truck flexes
- Squeak worse when the truck bed is empty
If your Colorado or Canyon squeaks when you rock the truck side to side, the leaf springs are almost always the cause.
🔍 Why Colorado & Canyon Leaf Springs Squeak
These trucks commonly squeak because:
- The leaves in the spring pack rub metal-to-metal
- Dirt & debris settle between the spring leaves
- Factory shims dry out or wear over time
- Changes in temperature cause expansion and friction
- Rear spring bolt torque changes with age
Dealerships usually suggest lubrication (temporary), replacing parts (expensive), or just “living with it.”
You don’t have to.

📝 FAQ
Will this fix the squeak when backing up or turning?
Yes. Those noises are caused by the leaf springs shifting and rubbing — this stops it.
Does anything need to be replaced?
No. The kit installs onto your existing leaf springs.
Will it work on lifted trucks?
Yes, as long as they still use 2.5" leaf springs.
Does temperature affect it?
No. Hot, cold, rain, snow, or road grime will not undo the fix.
This product fixed the popping in my springs I highly recommend spring things
Put these on my 2019 Silverado LD, worked perfectly! No more clunking! Highly recommended
Works great! Took out the clunking and sqeaking noise from my leaf springs on my 18 sierra.
Wow! Completely blown away by this product. I have a ‘21 Trail Boss and the squeaky leaf springs were driving me crazy! (I was driving around with a can of lubricant). After a fairly simple and quick install of these pads, the squeaks were gone. Amazing. If I could give more stars I would!
I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado LS, have had a clunking noise off and on for a while now. Took it to a local Chevy Dealership and they told me the undercoating I had put on, was causing the rear leaf springs to clunk. Then I saw the Spring Thing advertised. So, I thought I would give it try. Installation took about 15 mins. No more clunk, nice quite ride! Just like new again! Best $50 investment I spent!! Thanks Spring Thing!!
