This installation video shows how Spring-Things pads are positioned between compatible rear leaf springs to help reduce squeaks, chirps, pops, clunks, and banging caused by movement within the spring pack.

Most installations can be completed in approximately 15โ€“30 minutes using basic hand tools, a floor jack, and properly rated jack stands.

TorqueNews Covers Silverado Rear Leaf Spring Noise

โ€œMy Chevy Silverado Had Annoying Clunk/Squeak in the Rear; Dealer Said to Tighten U-Bolts โ€” Didnโ€™t Workโ€ฆ So I Did This Instead.โ€

The TorqueNews article discusses a common problem reported by Chevrolet Silverado owners: clunking and squeaking from the rear suspension that may continue even after common recommendations such as tightening U-bolts or lubricating suspension components.

Spring-Things was created specifically to address noises caused by movement and contact between the individual leaves in an otherwise serviceable rear leaf spring pack. The pads create a durable barrier at the spring contact points instead of relying on repeated grease applications.

How Spring-Things Works

Traditional rear leaf spring packs contain several steel leaves stacked together. As the suspension compresses, rebounds, and shifts under changing loads, those leaves can move against one another.

When that movement creates unwanted noise, Spring-Things pads can be installed at compatible contact points to help reduce direct leaf-to-leaf friction and impact.

  • Designed for squeaks, chirps, creaks, pops, and clunks caused by leaf-to-leaf contact
  • Typical installation takes approximately 15โ€“30 minutes
  • No drilling, welding, or removal of the complete spring pack
  • No wheel removal in most installations
  • No repeated grease or spray-lubricant application
  • Installs on compatible traditional rear leaf spring packs

Confirm Fitment and Diagnose the Noise First

Spring-Things universal kits are designed for many trucks with rear leaf springs measuring approximately 2.5 inches wide, but spring width alone does not guarantee compatibility. The spring-pack layout must also provide suitable installation points.

The kit will not repair noises caused by axle endplay, worn bushings, shackle binding, loose hardware, damaged springs, shocks, exhaust contact, drivetrain backlash, or unrelated mechanical problems.

Ready to Quiet Your Leaf Springs?

Confirm that the noise is coming from movement within a compatible rear leaf spring pack, then choose the Spring-Things kit option that works best for you.

Spring things are a great product they do exactly what you want them to takes care of that stupid squeak out of a brand new truck. The only complaint I have is this is my second set the first set broke in half. I believe I only got about a year and a half out of the first set. I am hoping this time they donโ€™t break down!

Thanks for the review, Kyle, and thanks for giving Spring-Things another shot! Iโ€™m glad they took care of the squeak, but Iโ€™m sorry to hear your first set only lasted about a year and a half. Weโ€™ve actually been working on a new polyurethane version of Spring-Things that will be available soon and is designed to offer improved durability while providing the same squeak/clunk fix. I really appreciate the feedback and your repeat business!

Had this squeaky noise when truck would rock side to side getting out of driveway or passing slow in bumps then I bought this and it all went away sounds good as new and not really a person to leave reviews but this deserves it

Thank you, Alfredo! That rocking side-to-side squeak is exactly the kind of noise Spring-Things were designed to fix, so weโ€™re glad they took care of it and your truck sounds good as new. We especially appreciate you taking the time to leave a review when you normally donโ€™tโ€”that means a lot to us!
