Default got a question bout leaf springs.

for about a year now ive been hearing my leafs screeching everytime i flex is it my bushings in between each leaf? because i cant find anywhere that sells rubber bumpers for inbetween them and LMC only has them for 2002 and up and i don't know if i should cut a old serptine belt and slip some peices in there or my bushings need to be replaced in the leaf connecting to the frame? whats your guys input?

squeaking? i'd start by spring some wd40 or silicon spray into the eyelet bushing from both sides if you can get the straw up to it.
