I have a squeek

Anothercar · Aug 16th, 2005, 06:12 AM

I have an 05 Pathy LE, loaded to the gills. It squeeks....it has one squeek that is driving me to double my xanax dose. I would be willing to donate my xanax to a worthy cause if someone could help me isolate the problem.

Heres the vitals:
It sounds like a bad bushing.
Kinda like a old pick-up truck!
It doesnt matter is anything (like AC) is on or off.
It is most obvious when the truck is driving slowly. (Under 40)
It squeeks over potholes and bumps.
It takes a little bit of driving to get it started.
It goes away if the undercarriage gets wet, for a day or two.
It is not isolated to one particular side of the trucks contact with a pothole.
It wont make the sound if you shake the truck while its sitting stationary.

Get some white lithium grease ( we called it owl shit in the Corps). Lube the little rubber stoppers under the hood and the hood latch. See if that doesn't help.

Never would have guessed the hood, but I'll try it
