Went for a long drive on Wednesday and it was raining all day. Since then, my Ground Control is squeaking and creaking like mad all the time! This is the same noise that kept me from going to Gingerman in May except it's twice as loud.
What my shop ended up doing was adding a shim and greased the sucker to temporarily keep the noise down. But it got almost unbearable. You had to have the windows down and the music up to drown out the noise. The shop has checked it over and found it's just noise from the bumpstop.
So this morning I slobbered the top of the strut mount in Mobil 1 grease. The noise is gone for the most part. And to be honest, if that's all it needs every 3-4,000 miles of driving, I can live with that.
Now, a couple had mentioned hearing a light squeak in the wet. But this was anything but light. Anybody else having a hard time keeping the noise down on their Ground Control???
