Rear leaf shackles are squeaking and squacking, GB states that no lubrication is required. Just what can I use without damaging shackle rubbers? Thank you!

Use some silicone spray on them.

Garage door lubricant. Garage Door Lubricant is a silicone-based lubricant that leaves a tack-free film that won't accumulate dust and dirt. Stop squeaks.

What is GB?? There are a couple of different shackles what type do you have? Metal shield one piece original style or the plastic style two piece inserts?

GB is the Green Bible and the springs/shackles are original, sounds like a chirping bird. Gonna give the silicone spray a go, thanks for the replies.

51504bat. The second part of your comment is totally uncalled for. I suggest you edit your post and remove it

Trjford8 I think that line is pretty funny. I might even use it some day. But not in print! I agree with you, its inappropriate here. Sophomorish. Like the big plastic testicals I sometimes see hanging below the back of pickup trucks. Chuckled a bit first time I saw that, but most of us stopped doing stuff like that when we got out of high school.

Have a similar problem with a car i recently bought..... an older restoration. Plan to remove the springs but wanted a temporary remedy. I used Kroil penetrating lubricant and have reduced the spring, shackle, and shock link squeaking until i can disassemble and lube properly.
