Still SQUEAKING!!! Ahhhhh!
Help!
After numerous attempts I have not been able to eliminate the squeak/creak that comes from the LF dash/A pillar. At this point it appears that the noise is external, but may be heard inside the car (quite well actually!).
When the car is hot and you lift/press down on the LF fender the noise may be heard and felt thru the fender. Here's what I have tried so far:
* Removed LF inner fender and checked the hood hinges including tightening the mounting hardware and lubing the hinges w/ HS2000.
* Checked for clearence between the hood hinges/hood/fender.
* Removed the LF speaker assy. and checked the area for any signs of interference or damage.
* Removed the interior A pillar trim.
* Loosened and retorqued the LF fender's hardware.
* Sprayed any areas that may rub w/ HS2000.
As I have said none of these fixes have worked. I am getting ready to remove the fender and dash to cure this darn thing. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. By the way the car has not been crashed, and the welds/body seams that I can see appear to be OK. Hopefully someone out there will recognize the symptoms and provide the magic bullet! Thanks in advance for the help.
