About two years ago this November I installed a 2" Black Diamond spacer lift with black diamond shocks. Last week the rear driver side shock started squeaking like a hungry baby bird every time I hit a bump. As soon as I can scrounge up the dough, I plan on upgrading to bilsteins, as I had thru basically last forever and don't squeak. How can I silence the squeak until then? It sounds like it's coming from the rubber on the lower bolt.

 

Is it from the bushings ? Try using white lithium spray grease or Fluid film.

Yup agree some good old White Lithium Grease. My old jeep I used to hit the bushings every couple of months with the stuff. It really helps keep those rubber bushings happy.

 

Thanks! I tried silicone and that lasted maybe half of a day. Is it true I won't have this issue with the bilsteins?

 

No ..
Try Fluid film. Not just for squeaks but on everything. This stuff is amazing. I've had all my heim joints sprayed all sumner with 0 signs of rust. Removing a control arm the joints move freely/well lubed.
A can cost $10

If you want to save money buy some Rubicon Express shocks they are made by Bilstein.

 

Thanks for the advice. Definitely gonna look into both the fluid film and the Rubicon Express shocks
