if its your spring bushings, tell ya what i use on my truck and it works great. get some stp or armor all vinyl and rubber protectant and hose down your bushings with it. i do that on my truck about three times a year and it stays squeak free.

All trailers used to have leaf springs. Not anymore.

I have a 2010 PIV with a tandem axle and disc brakes. I makes a medium pitch screech whenever I make a left hand turn, I figure its the disc rubbing against the pad because I dont notice it when going straight. Anything that can be done?

That would be the calipers having a slight amount of pressure on them.

You could have a loose wheel bearing that lets the hub move just enough to rub the caliper on the pads. Grab the top of the wheel and shake it in and out to see if it has more play than the others.Johnny

Probably your spring bushings, as they wear they get noisy. check your bushings, bolts, equalizers, and hangers for wear and replace the worn parts and dont spare the grease when re-assembling. Dont forget to check the springs also for broken leafs or worn eyes. I put mine on 4 jack stands and dropped the axles to service them. Good time to check the brakes too. You will probably never stop all the squeaking but you can get it down to bearable levels.Last edited by 1stinLA on August 25th, 2014, 1:22 am, edited 1 time in total.

I got mine at OReilly, and Tractor Supply including the spring hangers that I had to replace. I do my own welding so it was not a problem for me, if your hangers need to be replaced you may have to go to a welding shop in your area.

I dont see anything wrong with the hangers. Nothing looks to be broke. Just noisy crap.
