2000 Ford Excursion Front Squeaks
My truck would squeak when I would start, stop or turning.
Anyone who has had this frustrating problem understands my pain. I complained to Ford everytime I took it in. I finally fix it myself. I tighten
my leaf spring bolts, checked my tie rods, ball joints, I replaced both
hub assemblys put new spacers in my leaf springs. Still squeaking.
Until I read a thread about the front mounting bolts under the carpet
by your feet. I took them out added a rubber washer on it from my garden hose and put wheel bearing grease on them. Then went under the truck
and sprayed lithium grease between the rubber mount and the frame. Put
more grease up in the hole where the bolt goes and tighten them back
up and no more squeaks.
There are 10 of these Body mounts on the truck.
Hope this helps someone.
