Title: body mounts 'groan' and squeak
Post by: vince311 on July 01, 2008, 01:40:10 pm

they appear to be stock originals....   whenever I'm going really really slow, and the body twists (like when pulling into a driveway)... i get some terrible squeaky/groan sounds that appear to originate from the body mounts.

is it just time to replace? or can i spray some kind of lubrication?

What do they look like?  If they are worn and sagging I would replace them.

they aren't cracked....or appear to be sagging. but then again, i have nothing to them compare to. sounds like replacing them is the answer.

Not that hard to replace, if i were you i reccomend doing all 4 on the cab and do the 2 on the radiator support.that way the car doesnt sit higher then the radiator support.Check your front cab mounts also make sure your body mounts didnt fall thru if so then your gonna need to so some welding/replacing.

thanks
