Lots of Squeaking

FJinCO · 09-28-2009, 11:43 PM

I have tried really hard to nail down exactly where the squeaking on my Kodiak bumper is coming from, can't find it.

Any known areas of rub that would cause a loud squeak with every bump hit and every time I close a door?

I too had a lot of squeak whenever I shut the door or hit a small bump and I finally did find it....don't know if it's the same for you, but I'll share with you anyway. The bumper just barely touches the AC line bolt coming out from the radiator. If your looking at the front of your vehicle, it's located on the bottom right. I just squirt some oil in there and it clears it right up. I'll eventually see about adding another washer to the bolts, but have been too lazy as of late!
