body squeaks on '00 Sierra

spikefish · October 3, 2005

I have squeaks from the body of my truck when turning, etc. It doesn't sound mechanical. Are there points on the body and/or bed that I can lubricate?

do you lube the chasis when you do your oil changes?

otherwise inspect the body mount bolts to make sure they are secure.

i've had a problem like that which turned out to be a dash squeak and in another truck it was a seat bolt.

Do you have a regular cab? If so, it could be the bushing attached to the tether strap underneath the doors. There are a couple of post about how some people made a teflon bushing and it cured it.

It's the doors. It happens on mine. A dealer I found has a guy that does nothing but squeeks and wind noise on trucks. He has turned the inside of mine from a skweekie-toy into a tomb twice in the last couple of years (by adjusting doors), but now the noises are back again. I guess it time to book in there again

I had a freakin squeek that was annoying as hell that was well heard inside the cab..Turned out to be my Westin step bars only needed to be tighten down.....

My body squeaks sound like the bed is in a bind. Are there rubber bumpers/supports that could be lubricated? I can't get it to squeak by shaking the truck, it occurs when turning or slowly manuvering.
