I have a 99 eddie bauer that is making a lot of noise from the rear end. It sounds like an old mattress spring that has seen better days. It really only makes noise when the truck goes over bumps or tilts to one side if taking a speed bump at an angle. It also makes the squeaking noise when exiting and entering the vehicle while stepping on the running boards. I've sprayed some white lithium grease on the leaf springs and a few other components back there, but it has not helped at all. Interestingly, if the truck is parked facing down on a slope where the rear end sits up a bit higher, I can push on the back bumper and it does not squeak.
When driving down the road though, this things sound like a rusty old mattress and is driving me nuts! Any help on where to look or what parts to check would be much appreciated. Cheers.
