Squeaks and Rattles.

[yorks]

I'm sure everybody has at least one little one, but I have two that are driving me absolutely bat*****. I was wondering if anybody had the same, or any solutions/suggestions.

1. Drivers side B pillar right in line with my left ear (see what I mean about driving me crazy?). This one sounds like something rubbing against something else.

2. Overhead storage bin. Sounds like there's something rattling around in there, even when it's empty.

I seem to remember from an earlier thread that LML had a B Pillar noise corrected by the dealership. Any help or advice would be appreciated.:help:

Sounds like a door adjustment. Pull down the console and look, may be a screw loose or missed and just laying their bouncing around.

I have that B pillar noise also....tech took seatbelt mech all apart, as well as rear door panel, did not help...

any ideas would be appreciated

I also have an annoying rattle coming from behind my left ear. I can't get it localized while I drive but I think it may be in the back door rather than the pillar as I always have the seat all the way back which puts the pillar next to me instead of behind.

One thing I noticed is that it generally does not happen when going straight down the road.

Someday I might actually go for a ride in the passenger seat and see if I can locate it. But that would mean someone else gets to drive my baby. :eek:

Hopefully we can start to get these worked out.

I had the same...told our guy here in ATL that works on all the Marauders (Scott Levin-TeamFord-the BEST in the biz)...he opened the door....started banging it with the palm of his hand on the inside around the handle, top, bottom, etc. It's gone.:up:

Thanks TAF! I will give it try before the drive home tonight.

Hopefully it will work for me too :)

Todd...Would that be the rear drivers side door? As I said before, the noise appears to be coming from the drivers side B pillar.
Thnx...

After asking my dealer to check the driver's door for being hard to open, (sticks in the door gasket). I got it back with squeaks, moans and groans when I open it. Sounds like the door on an old junker. Oh, and it still sticks.

I have a noise coming from the drivers side B pillar as well.
It almost sounds like a wire or something loose and slapping around in there. It comes and goes. :confused:

My Taurus did the same thing. turned out to be the shoulder belt heigth adjuster (same one on MM as my 98' Taurus) dealer replaced the part vibration sound went away.

[yorks]

That sounds about the right area. Thanks looking, I'll check it out and if it's not that at least I ruled something out.

The shoulder harness was the culprit on my car--repositioned slide--noise gone

[sailsmen]

I just turn up the tunes and all the sqeaks go away!:D :D :D

You know, that's ONE thing my car hasn't suffered from, since day two of ownership. (I know... I'm jinxing myself...)
