Squeaks and Rattles




Squeaks and Rattles

Note:
Squeaks and rattles are caused by improperly controlled relative motion between vehicle components. There are 4 ways to prevent squeaks and rattles.

* Attach the component that squeaks or rattles securely.

* Separate the components that squeak or rattle to prevent contact.

* Insulate the components that squeak or rattle.

* Insulate low uniform friction surfaces to eliminate stickslip motion.
