    ** Found. Suspension squeak

    I have an fj40 I restored several years ago. I just bought it back. While he owned it a 4” lift was added with new springs, poly bushings & new shocks. Original shackles were used. When you drive and go over a bump it squeaks. Is the squeak because greasable pins were not used? Thank you.
