On the back of my truck i have this annoying squeak mostly when accelerating or going over bumps. I have narrowed it down to the leaf springs and the little white spacers on them. I spray it all down with spray grease or a spray lubricant and it goes away for a week or so, my question is has anyone else had this problem and what did they do to make it go away forever?

Was there any plastic/rubber pieces between the leaves?
