Body mount squeak!
Hi all, I recently upgraded from my 98 Expedition to a 02 Excursion V10. Since purchasing it the right body mount under the front floor squeaks when beginning and ending momentum, both foreward and reverse. I tried lithium grease, wd-40, and penetrating lube. I also had a mechanic check it out, he said it was in good shape and he loosened it, jacked the body up and lubed between mount and body and re assembled. Squeak dissappeared for a cou-le weeks but is back. Would aftermarket poly body mounts solve this and are they available and where. Or would I be better off replacing with new stockers. Any help is appreciated.

If ANYONE ever finds some upgraded (READ : Energy Bushings) bushings for the body mounts on an X, do let me know. I have looked into it a bit and never found any....
I too experience this squeak whenever the truck warms up or has been driven for a bit.
Quite annoying actually.

Poly is known for squeeks so I wouldnt go that route yet. Not sure what the actual fix is, possibly see if other mounts near it are loose and allowing that one to wiggle? I would be curious why that particular area is moving around so much.
