[QUOTE="stewwalker, post: 1355572, member: 12781"] I recently installed new shocks and Deaver springs on my truck. This was my first time installing real leaf springs, and tried to follow the directions as best I could, but the job was pretty straight forward. On my first test drive I could immediately hear a clunk and popping noise from the rear end when backing out of the driveway and the rear axle started to articulate. Chocking it up to new springs I didn't think much of it, and hosed the springs down with fluid film. It's been a month now and the clunk hasn't gotten any better. Ive double checked all bolts, sprayed the springs down with lube every weekend, and even contacted Deaver about the noise. They told me to make sure the keepers weren't contacting the side of the leaf packs. They aren't.... Does anyone have a clue where to look next? Slip yoke was greased, no signs of ovaled shock bolt holes, shackles or spring mounts, U bolts were torqued as best as I could, and no sign of anything rubbing against each other under articulation. The only thing I can think is the leafs are shifting left to right in the pack when it articulates. Also I can't replicate the noise while parked, only when driving and turning. [/QUOTE]
