Squeaks and Rattles for Oldsmobile Cutlass 1998
The improperly controlled relative motion between vehicle
components causes squeaks and rattles. Use the following three steps in order
to prevent the squeak or 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.
