squeaks
I'm new to this forum with my 2016 2L Escape. My question is this. I've had the vehicle for the past 12 months and each rainy season here in California, I admit its not often we get rain but we have it now and its about time. Anyway while driving in wet conditions I get a squeak from what I think is the right rear sway bushing and it only happens during starting out, stopping and parking lot speed bumps all at low speed. No noise at when driving at speed. I've had it to the dealer 3 x to fix, they grease the bushing and it seems ok for awhile but not he permanent fix I was hoping for. Have any of you had similar issues/squeaks and if so what is the fix! Thanks for any ideas. I hate squeaks.

I hate squeaks too. Include dashboard rattles, coins vibrating in a coin tray, stuff rolling around under seats... Yeah, that's me. (You wouldn't believe the measures I've gone to and the fixes I've done in my RV... really you wouldn't). And don't get me started on the tinny distortion prevalent over satellite radio or the sound of a damaged speaker.
The trick is to find a way to re-create the squeak reliably without driving the vehicle. Then you can look closely and find the source.
If it's the bushing, replace it. If they just keep greasing it they're not fixing it.
