squeak over bumps
another 2nd gen squeak question, I have an OME suspension coupled with a downey HD coil setup.
I am getting squeaks when I go over bumps. I cannot localize it (which side it's coming from), when I get out and push down on the vehicle I cannot reproduce this, only when I am driving. I have lubricated all chassis points but now am interested in lubricating coils/shocks, is this even done?
where are the lubrication points for the suspension if applicable
sdori ball joint spacers
sonoran steel IFS truss (awesome)
OME front and rear
Downey HD coils

forgive my ignorance, I don't know much about your suspension parts, but here is my $.02.
I had a squeek similar from the rear of the truck, ended up being the rubber bushings in my leaf springs. Try lifting UP on the back and see if it does it. I replace them with Polyeurethane bushings and problem solved. (My old '92 pickup).

Same deal here. Had very annoying rattle when hitting bumps and thought it was the tailgate. Ended up being the rear leaf spring bushings. Replaced with polyurethane and no more noise.

Some types of poly bushings come greasable. This is to reduce squeaks. My poly bushings in the rear actualy make more noise than stock. Was a progr. thing, not when new.
