rattle & squeaking noise

[dj_pizm]

When I go over bumps or turn corners I keep hearing a squeaking, rattle, or something loose noise. So I took it to the dealer: Front sway bar end link was loose so it was replaced also. Stabilizer bar link front was replaced. JFI

How many miles? Stock sways? What kind of roads are you driving on?

Thanks!

Squeak could be the hood release. Try shooting the latch and catch with some WD-40.

Yep very commom problem, I put some grease on mine, make sure u grease is good, u can use wd-40 but u will probably have to spray more often than if u use grease.

????? Under the hood? Or inside car where hood latch is located?

A properly adjusted hood won't squeak.

First adjust the hood bumpers so the front of the hood is level.

Next adjust the latch so it secures the hood.

Put a small amount of grease under the front of the hood where the bumpers contact the hood.

WD-40 won't do anything for the squeak. Get some white spray grease and some of these:

Ford Expedition Hood Bumpers
N804384-S

These go on the top of the fenders (you'll see the slots there) and help support the sides of the hood.

I'll post some pics later.

I put the grease on the hood latch. I bet that will stop your squeak, but if by a long shot thats not it, I suggest doing what fastblackmerc said.
