The suspension on my pop-up seems to be a bit noisy. Even going over mild bumps there's a lot of creaking and squeaking going on. Short of taking the spring supports apart and greasing them, can I spray some silicone spray on the pivots?
If they are leaf springs check to see if the straps have broken. They ususlly have a rubber or poly strap enclosed in a metal clip. Should be a few on each spring. You have a round gasket at the ends also that may be worn out, making the metal to metal sound.
My old fifth wheel did that...greased them and it would be OK for a while then right back again. The metal straps were loose....I bought some "U" (actually square) clamps and put one on the end of each spring pack.....AAAHHHH..peace thereafter. Seems it was the spring leafs themselves shifting around....Brian

good idea, greasing them attracts dirt and doesn't solve the problem for long. Also try tightening the u bolts..
