DOnt you just hate those squeeks you cant find??
« on: August 21, 2008, 09:26:24 »
now as we all know, Defenders ratlle and squeek for mostly no apparent reason at then best of time, most of which is normally not heard due to the nauture of our quiet engines :) or 1000000 watt sound systems to drwon them out.
But I have this little squeek coming form the front drivers side and its not the sussy and stops over 5 mph.
I have no family of mice in the turret or engine bay and its REALLY annoying me.....

looks like I will lube and grease everywhrere in the hope of accidently finding it gone!!!!

Not going to help you, but I fixed my one at the weekend.

Its been doing my nut for months now, and i found it to be the cubby box had worked loose...

I was sure it was coming from the passenger footwell!

Get your Mrs to hang off the front and listen while you drive....

That would work.  :-k

I thought that's why we bred small children?? They fit in small places to listen for squeaks and then fix them  :lol:

Blue. Check your wheel bearing for play. I had similar and the bearing had dried out. It died not long after  :doh:

I fixed an annoying squeak today ...... I cleaned the K&N ........ go figure.
