Over the years, I have gotten rid of most of my car's
rattles, but there are still a couple I can't track
down.
There is no silver bullet; you just take the time to
investigate them one after another.
Keep in mind that there are two situations that can
cause a squeak:
1: Two parts are supposed to move freely
against one another, but there is not enough
lubrication.
2: Two parts are supposed to be rigidly fixed to one
another, but a loose bolt, broken weld, etc., is
allowing them to move.
Try spraying water or even WD-40 on a suspected
squeaky place. If it temporarily reduces the noise,
you have probably identified the culprit.
