Had the same problem a few years ago.  I think it was because I waded =
through some high water and put the car in storage before shipping to =
Florida.   At any rate, finally, we jacked up the car and the leaf =
springs separately.  Then removed the bolts from the shackles with a =
drift pin to keep them in position and greased the bolts.  Then greased =
the end of the drift pint so that it was lubing the inside while tapping =
slowly on the bolt which was doing the same greasing.  That was 4 years =
ago in hot humid Florida and no squeaks yet. =20

'67 BJ8

Wondering what the more experienced listers advocate to stop the squeeks =
and groans for the rear end rubber bushes on

spring shackles, shocks, tramp bar etc.

I have used:=20

dry graphite spray .. messy eliminates the noises but lasts a short time =
only

silicon spray - same story but not as messy=20

ptfe spray made by WD40 - also works for a short time.

Given that these bushes are rubber am reluctant to use any petoleum =
products like WD40 etc

=20

50 yeras ago in my TR3 days used to squirt brake fluid all over them =
that was a sucessful technique.

These days am more sensitive about my paint work ... !

Is there a particular bush that is the culprit ?

Suggestions please.
