Creaking groaning suspension

[kaza]

We have a 2007 tandem expanda (recently bought second Hand) Getting ready to go away in it and Oh My God! The noise from the suspension area? Taking off, hitting bumps, reversing....all you hear is squeaking groaning creaking noise. Very loud. Any suggestions?

Yeh ours is the same funny that just finished my wheel bearings and I sprayed some lanolin on each spring hanger and in between each leaf and we are heading off this weekend so will see how it goes??

As @Ch00ka77 said above, a bit of spray should shut it up!

I've heard that silicon spray is the go because it doesn't collect dirt

I have a lot of groaning that comes out of my passneger seat!

For the record. I did not laugh out loud at this remark.

I did, but just don't tell the passenger seat!

Hey @kaza, pump some grease into the grease nipples also, it might even pay you to unscrew the nipples and check they're not blocked up! The middle link between the leaf packs cops a flogging!

Try not to use any mineral based lubricant on spring leaves as when mixed with dust/dirt will wear out metal and bushes ..
