i got to learn from a member from CEBU to try Singer Oil to lubricate the leafspring to minimize the noise. this flaw is really a bad engineering for the strada..well..its still a menace for sure..i am glad my ride doesnt have this problem.

aside from the usual 5000km checkup, pinacheck ko din yung squeeky leaf springs. ginawa nila is nilagyan lang ng lubricant. nabasa ko sa mga strada threads dito, sakit pala talaga ng strada yung maingay na leaf springs. nawala naman yung squeeking sound kaso parang bumabalik ulit ngayon.

tinanong ko din sa SA namin yung mga ibang balak ko pa iupgrade sa truck namin kung makakavoid ba yun ng warranty. eto yung sagot nya:

busina - wag muna, baka mavoid warranty pag di maganda yung gawa
aftermarket air cleaner element - definitely will void warranty
car alarm - ok lang basta daw sa winterpine ako magpakabit

overall satisfied naman kami sa gawa nila. yung sa squeeking leaf springs, nabasa ko dito meron na palang silencer kit para dun? tanong ko next time sa SA namin yun..

if you will backread this topic, you can see there that we had almost the same issue... what my SA did was:
1st - replace set of U-Bolt for accrdng to them it has been over torqued which causes the bolt to mis-allign.
2nd - install silencer kit

after all the efforts to elliminate this issue on our trucks, still they were not succesful coz until now, meron parin. pero very minimal na.. WD-40 will do... if you will attend one of the clubs EB then maybe the GURU's can help you...

PS. No worries my friend, the squeaks would not affect the performance medyo maingay nga lang (lakasan mo na lang sounds mo)
