They squeak on every little bump.
If I spray some PB Blaster on where the springs attach to the frame it cures it but not for long.
What will work better? Thinking lithium grease spray but as soon as I pick something someone will suggest a better choice so figured I'd ask first.
My big trailer squeaks like hell too AB, and I just spent $800+ replacing axle, springs, all U-bolts, etc....., but know that nothing is wrong. I did commit a sin yesterday though...........when we arrived at the launch, my better half mentioned that the trailer was squeaking more than usual, and happened to ask if I had changed the ball out (duck boat has a 1 7/8 ball, and big boat has a 2 1/4), and damn glad she happened to think about it

Thankfully, my big boat is tongue heavy, and we made it to the launch fine, but that could've easily been a major fuck up on the road.
