2023 Ranger Tremor squeaky leaf spring.

[Ranger Off Roading]

Does the Ranger Tremor have insulator pads on the leaf springs? I can't seem to find any replacements online unless it's a dealer item itself from the dealership? Any thoughts?

I'll look at my 2023 Tremor soon and let you know. I have no squeaks, but it only has 39,000 miles on it, and very little off road.

I don’t have a Tremor but I had a squeak (icon springs)

also and used F150 spring insulator from Amazon. Drilled holes in the one spring that didn’t have them..

A teflon spray works pretty well too. Just have to do it monthly. My standard Ranger springs dont squeak because there is only one leaf. Want to trade?

The springs in my 2021 Tremor started squeaking recently. I’m sure it’s due to them rusting.
Next time I have my tires off, I’m going to use a spray bottle and coat them with some used engine oil.
(maybe I should have continued having the truck undercoating every year)

Us Fluid Film on them. Spray on the eyelets and the spring packs. Protect from rust and provide a light layer of lubricant. Do NOT use FF on exhaust. Wipe off any that get into exhaust.

Mine has 37,000 miles on it. I'm the second owner of it. I think the previous owner either lived off a dirt road or did some 4 wheeling. Very clean truck like new well taken care of but the under carriage is stained from wet dirt road use. Thinking this is where the issue came from. I'm in Florida and the truck was purchased at a local dealership about 30min away from me. In Florida we have either dirt roads, trails or mudding to 4wheel.

Saw those online as well after checking there.

Sounds like a plan, hope it works for you.

Thanks, I will give it a shot.

Cant hurt to ask! Spray lubes will be your friend!

I had perpetually squeaky leaf springs on my Nissan Xterra after I put aftermarket springs on it. I hit it with some liquid graphite spray from the auto parks store and it did great. WD40 PTFE dry lube is also excellent but I couldn't find it local to me.

Hope you figure it out! Squeaks drive me nuts lol. Its actually a big part of why I sold my Xterra. She wouldn't stop squeaking from everywhere
