BT-50 sqeeky suspension..

Post by Adz BT-50 »

Hi i own a BT-50 duel cab with a factory fitted canopy. Have owned it from when they first came out. Had a few problems with the canopy moving and making noise and leaking around the sides. And recently the suspension (leaf springs) are starting to sqeek all the time (bloody noisy!) Has any body had these problems and is there a good way of fixing the squeeky springs?....Going to mazda is pretty much the same as bashing ya head against the wall!...apart from this anoying problem im stoked to be driving a BT !...also is there any good canopy roof racks out there?

Cheers

hay mate, my bt 50 is the dual cab with aloy tray and no canopy but i do have a long range tank (126ltrs) and a arb steel bar on the front the leafs squeek sometimes reversing off a gutter or going over rocks ruts etc and the front torsion bars make a bad squeek at full lock going over bumps.

have you tried greasing the shackels on the leafs?
