Squeaks and Rattles for Chevrolet Monte Carlo 2000

Basically, squeaks and rattles are caused by improperly controlled relative motion between components. There are three means to prevent the squeak or rattle.

    • Attach component securely so there is no relative motion during operation.
    • Separate components so there is no contact under operating conditions.
    • Insulate components so no sound occurs with relative motion between components. Low uniform friction surfaces can be provided to eliminate stick-slip motion.
