Unhappy Squeaking leaf springs

I've recently noticed (well, it's hard not to notice it now) my rear left leaf spring squeaking and otherwise carrying on at even the slightest irratation. It seems to be coming from the front most spring bracket... I've tried assaulting said area with my pressure washer, to no avail. Any ideas on what's going on here? Thanks in advance.

You didn't get a little rock wedged up in there did you?

dont think so.... It has been off road before, but I cleaned the crap out of the car with the pressure washer, plus this started about 2k miles later. So looking at it from the outside anyway, I've got the cleanest leaf springs in the east (don't know what the inside looks like)

I believe the noise comes from the leaf spring isolators. My Fords had the same problem. Half of my time is desert mountain off road.
