replace the bushings. they are worn out.

Roy

I have replaced the bushings and in a while they start squeaking again.

GREASE NOZZLES ARE REALLY INEXPENSIVE


THIS MODEL CLIPS INTO YOUR GREASE GUN NOZZLE JUST LIKE A GREASE ZURK DOES

YOU CAN INSERT IT UP INTO SUSPENSION RUBBER/ PLASTIC BUSHINGS ETC., THEN SIMPLY PUMP SOME GREASE IN THERE

WORKS EVEN BETTER IF YOU'LL JACK THE FRAME UP AND LET THE AXLES SORTA DANGLE, NOW YOU CAN GET GREASE IN THERE GOOD, WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO, NOW THAT THE PRESSURE IS OFF

USEFUL IN OTHER SITUATIONS TOO

LET US KNOW HOW IT GOES

THE MEDIC

Thank you! I will ask my hubby to get the injector needle and follow your advice. I will let you know how it works.

Thank you much!

Gretchen :-)

That is a good idea and should eliminate the noise. If it doesn't, then the bushings will need replaced. Make sure to get them from the dealer and not a cheap aftermarket replacement.

Ah ok, no aftermarket bushings for me. I will get them from a dealer if needed. Thank you. :-)

Your answers helped me to decide to take my 2001 Cougar to a dealership to confirm the cause of the annoying squeaking. After searching the Salt Lake area for dealerships, I decided on one with many positive reviews, Henry Day Ford. The technician who worked on my car specialized in suspensions. He said the bushings were fine, but the supports (I don't know the technical name for the parts) on the anti-sway bar were the cause of the squeaking. He thought there might be more to the issue than that, but he would start with those supports. I ordered the parts and scheduled another appointment for the repair. Last Friday 03MAY13, the support brackets were replaced and there are no more squeaks! I was so delighted!! Slow speeds, turns, high speeds and no squeaks! Whohoo. I think the injector needle is such a good idea that I'm probably going to get that to have on hand.

Thanks to all for your answers to my call for help! I now have an excellent dealership that does great work, has friendly staff, and an immaculate shop and building...Henry Day Ford.

I'm in love with my Cougar again. Smiling big!

Thank you,

Miss Gretchen :-)

GOOD DEAL WITH GETTING RID OF YOUR RACKET!

SORRY YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE WARM FUZZY OF "BEING ONE" WITH A "REAL JEEP" YET.......THERE IS STILL TIME!

THE MEDIC

Yes is it awesome no more obnoxious squeaking. So what is a real Jeep? What kinds of Jeeps do you have? We have 2 Jeep Liberties for work, they are ok, nice ride and quick get up and go.

:-)

Lots of Lots of Jeeps! Looks like you have had and continue to have lots of fun! Cool Jeeps. I'm happy for you. I appreciate your advice. Keep on trucking! Thanks :-)

LEMME KNOW WHAT COLOR YOUR CJ IS WHEN YOU GET IT!

THE MEDIC

Yeah! If I ever do get a Jeep I will surely let you know. In fact, I would ask you for
advice before I purchased.

I wanted to let you know that my car is still squeak free! It is so nice, especially now that it is summer time and I put my windows down.

I will check the link in your last post.

Thanks again! and Happy Jeeping!

Miss Gretchen

LEMME KNOW WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR THE JEEP.....LAST VEHICLE YOU WILL EVER NEED/ DESIRE

THE MEDIC

I will let you know when I'm ready for the jeep! Good time! :-)
