SILVER Star
Mine started squeaking this weekend. Heavily loaded in the rear. After removing the load, the squeak disappeared.Nah! I just loosened the u-bolt’s as far as I could while still keeping them threaded on and then slid the strips of rubber in. The tank is only dropping at most 1/2”.
I’ll be generous and say it took me 7 minutes using an electric impact.
I’ll save you 2 minutes and tell you it’s a 17mm deep socket. One bracket is 5” long and the other is 9ish”.
Kinda makes sense if the load made the body sag closer to the frame and tank.
Figure I might as well fix it.
Did you have to remove the spare tire carrier and spare?
I didn't do the instal myself, so I'm not too familiar with the process.
