Noisy springs, it could be 5h3 OEM bushings! Most are plastic. I would suggest bronze replacements an HD shackles. Should do the trick.
I also up graded the equalizer to a Dexter EZ-Flex (you could go with others like Mor-Ride) to soften the ride.
P.S. I found suspension upgrades lessens sway.
But this thing has greaseable bushings and fancy 2 piece spring equalizers. And now has maybe 2000mi max on the trailer.
And I greased every bushing with no weight on the wheels.
Tows perfectly.
@deltabravo. I meant greased the bearings. Not that they are the squeaking source but first thing I did since trailer was sitting on factory lube job and still well under 1000miles total.
