I know the squeaky leaf spring has been a topic for a bit, and i've done my research and fixed it on my previous silverado. I have a 2017 that has a squeaky driver side leaf spring, and i have pin pointed it to the front of the driver side spring that squeaks. The noise is coming exactly from the leaf spring insert / c-clip area. The rear of the leaf spring, and the spring on the passenge side do not squeak at all. I have tried the inter tube trick, I have installed one of the "spring thing" rubber pads, and nothing will make this thing stop squeaking. I'm wondering if the actual c-clip on the spring would cause the issue, the leafs on the springs are making zero contact with the rubber spacer in between them. Any advise from anyone? Much appreciated. Cheers, BJ75
