Quiet a creaking rear leaf spring and protect the spot where it seats against the spindle with the Dorman - OE Solutions Leaf Spring Friction Pad 532-016. It installs at the rear leaf spring mounting point at the wheel spindle and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1988-1996 Buick Regal, 1990-1994 Chevrolet Lumina, 1988-1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and 1988-1996 Pontiac Grand Prix.

  • Position: Fits at the rear leaf spring seat at the wheel spindle.
  • Function: Cushions the leaf spring against its contact surface and reduces friction and wear between the two.
  • Direct fit: Installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.

Over time the original pad can wear, crack, or dry out, allowing metal-to-composite contact that may show up as squeaks, creaks, or clunks from the rear when going over bumps or during suspension movement. If a worn friction pad is the cause of that noise, this replaces it. Inspect and replace it as directed by the vehicle service procedure.
