Hi all,
I am hoping someone here can help with this god awful squeak that I have in my 03 sport.
Since about November I have developed this really annoying squeak, which has gotten worse. Now to the point driving me F******G nuts.
Here is as much description as I can muster.
In November I'm beginning a long drive with the wife and I get a good chip in the windshield which immediately begins to spread across the length so that literally there are two half's. I mention this as it is hear when I began to hear the squeak. I have driven many trucks with a broken windshield and none of them have ever made a sound. I don't think that its the cause (well sometimes I do), I hope it is as I have a new one that is to be installed next week. Regardless has anyone heard of the windshield making a squeak when cracked?
As for the squeak itself. I cannot pinpoint it at all. It is a high pitched squeak that occurs when I go over bumps (sounds like the interior to me). The problem is that if you are in the drivers seat it sounds like its coming from the passenger side and then when you sit in the passenger side ... well you get the idea. I have gone go far as to get someone to drive it and have gotten in the back seat... when there, it sounds like it is coming from the drivers seat area. but I cannot locate it.
I have gone to one garage and 2 dealerships. The first place said that it was my sway bar bushings. I didn't buy it and the dealer said they were fine. The dealer then said it was the door seals and he spayed them. I told him that I had already done that.... of course the squeak was still there ( I have lubed, and spayed every hinge, joint, hole in that jeep). Needless to say the squeak was still there. That dealer took two days (the second was free as they told me it was fixed and it wasn't, I fought and had them try again without charging me)
So, they checked the suspension and said there was nothing wrong and even spayed the usual suspects. No good, the squeak is going strong and I'm going to pull my hair out and now have 4 cans of various products sitting at the ready in the off chance that I can locate it and spray it in time to save my sanity.
It kind of comes and goes. Some days its horrible others not so bad or not even there (lately these days are few and far between)
When I was at the in laws I used the garage and installed my evic, also I spayed everything I could in the interior. It was gone at this point for a day or two. I actually thought that I had gotten the noise. But it may have been a coincidence as it has been dormant for a few days before.
So my question is this. Are there any usual suspects that I should try and hit? Anyone have any ideas ( turning up the radio only makes for squeaky music).
Help!
