ok tandem axle pontoon trailer, about 2 years old maybe about 200 miles on it total, springs were painted with a gray paint not galvanized back when I bought it, now they are showing a little rust between them and on the sides, but there is a squeeky clunking noise when I turn, go over speed bumps and hit different levels in the pavement........

what gives, is it just the rust in the springs and the equalizer thing ????

can I lube grease anything to get rid of the squeek

Yes that will make it squeek, and yes you can lube it.

A good penetrating oil like Liquid wrench or Aerokroil will help.

wd40 would be a waste of time.

There's a product in a spray can called "Roller Chain Lubricant" that goes on as a foam, penetrates all cracks and joints very well, and stays on sticky. Spray all springs, shackles, connecting links, etc., that should do it! Good Luck!
