Fix Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra Leaf Spring Squeak — Fast DIY Rear Suspension Noise Repair

If your Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra has an annoying leaf spring squeak—especially when driving slowly, going over bumps, or backing out of a driveway—you’re not alone. This is one of the most common GM truck rear suspension noises, and the good news is that you can fix it in minutes without grease, shop fees, or replacing parts.

The Spring-Things® Kit eliminates Silverado and Sierra leaf spring squeaks fast using a simple, proven DIY solution trusted by truck owners across the U.S.


⭐ Common Silverado & Sierra Squeak Symptoms

Owners of Silverado and Sierra 1500/2500 models usually report:

  • Squeaking from the rear suspension
  • Chirping noise when turning into driveways
  • Squeaks at low speeds
  • Squeaking when hitting small bumps
  • Noise from leaf springs rubbing together
  • Squeak worse when the truck is empty

If your Silverado or Sierra squeaks when you rock the truck side to side, the leaf springs are almost always the cause.


🔍 Why Silverado & Sierra Leaf Springs Squeak

GM leaf springs squeak because:

  • The leaves in the spring pack rub together
  • Dirt and road grime build up between the leaves
  • Factory shims dry out over time
  • Temperature changes cause expansion
  • Bolt torque changes from wear

Dealerships usually suggest lubrication (temporary), replacing leaf packs (expensive), or simply “living with it.”

You don’t have to.

The fix is simple.

  • Stops the metal contact that causes squeaking
  • Works without grease or messy sprays

📝 FAQ

Will this fix the squeak when backing up or turning?
Yes. Those noises are caused by leaf springs shifting and rubbing — this stops it.

Does it replace anything?
No. It installs onto your existing leaf springs.

Will it work on lifted Silverados or Sierras?
Yes, as long as the truck still uses 2.5" springs.

Does temperature affect it?
No. Heat, cold, rain, snow, or road grime won’t undo the fix.

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!!
