Improperly controlled relative motion between vehicle components
causes squeaks and rattles. The following 3 measures may prevent a squeak
or a rattle:
• | Attach the components securely. Ensure that there is no relative
motion during operation of the vehicle. |
• | Separate the components. Ensure that there is no contact under
vehicle operating conditions. |
• | Insulate the components in order to ensure that squeaks or rattles
do not occur with relative motion between the vehicle components. |
| Low uniform friction surfaces may eliminate "stick-slip"
motion. |
