2004 every option, including squeaks

[logan2]

The car has 26000 and I love it, Its been in the shop for squeaks in the chassie 3 times , they replaced all the rubber bushings worked for about a week. Anyone else had this problem,and how to correct it. Please Email me buddielee1@comcast.net Thanks

I have had 30 plus panthers in my career and never had any chassis squeaks... The hood is usually the culprit and just raising the stops in the front a half turn or so and maybe moving the bottom half of the latch 1/8 inch or so takes care of that nuisance... Now the full stop steering contacts need to be finger greased every few months on the 02 and older... Don't know about the 03 and newer with the aluminum front cross member have the same noise...

Hey thank you for the info cyclopsram:beer: I will give this a try.

I have the chassis squeak as well, I all ready did the hood stops and the shop told me it was the brakes. I am sure it is the body mounts. Is there a steal sleeve inside the bushing?
Hope i didn't hijack your thread logan2

Nearly 28K original miles on my '04 and no squeaks ( knock on wood,) thus far. Best:beer:

There are 2 push on clips that hold the insulation to the body directly above the transmission.
Some Marauders, mine included, only came with one clip.
You can hear it best when you accelerate, cause that missing clip is allowing metal to meatl contact.
It is best seen from under the car from the passenger side.
From inside the car, sounds like a dash squeak behind the Autometer gauges,
