How to tighten doors and squeaky rear springs

I have seen it mentioned and wanted to know if anyone knows how to tighten the doors on an 05 Nismo King Cab or if I HAVE to go to the dealer and have them do it and spend a few more hours there?

Also, the rear springs squeak like crazy, if you climb into the bed or push the truck around any, squeak squeak. Anything I can do for that?

Thanks

Jeff

If you know it's definitely the springs that squeak (and not a chassis part), then you could just spray the srings with some sort of lubricant. Do small portions at a time, so that you can isolate the squeaking spot. then you can apply some grease for a longer-term fix.

That's what I did and it has worked well so far. Make sure to lube up the brackets real well, that's where my squeak was coming from.

Thanks for the pointers on the lithium grease and brackets.

Anybody know anything about the doors? It is not real obvious looking at them how to tighten them up.

Could someone post a picture of two on the brackets, where you put the grease? Appreciate it!

I just sprayed the grease all over the things. Made sure to get into the crevices and such.

The white lit. grease worked great. No more squeak!! Seemed to be the area from right behind the axle to the clip where it goes from 3 bars to 2.

Happy New Year.
