    Hey Joe, Actually, my squeaking I can hear perfectly fine with the windows up! Basically, if I am off road, or even a slightly bumpy street I can hear squeaking. At first I thought it could be the seats, because it sounds to me like springs (almost like a squeaky bed).

    If it sounds like squeaky bed springs then my money is on the swaybar bushings.

    Here's the thread Moncha started way-back-when with the part numbers, you can get 'em from Autozone.com or most anywhere that carries Energy Suspension products: http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...rgy+suspension

    Also...culprit number three can be the hood catch.
    The metal loop that the release hook catches was a bare metal to bare metal squeak fest on mine untill I fixed it, first with duct tape (what else ?) then with a peice of clear vinyl tubing slit down the side & held in place w/ zip ties.

    I thought I was the only one who found their squeek came from the hood catch. I used self-vulcanizing tape on mine. Now if I can just track down that little rattle in the dash...
