Well, a friend of mine(JokePlayer, here on YT) helped me put my bull bar on. It loooks great and so far has served its purpose. But I was wondering if anyone elses squeeks like crazy over every little bump in the road? My frame has some very minor damage to it and we werent able to get one of the bolts in, I was thinking that could be the problem, but i cant see how that would cause it to be loose. In fact I think we ended up putting extra bolts in that were supposed to be used for the winch. But anyways, my question is, does anybody else get this squeeking sound coming from their ARB? Or does anyone have a remedy that I might try. Ive gone down and tightened the bolts as tight as they will go already and that didnt help. Maybe it'll be something I have to live with.. Thanks for any help!

ARBs themselves don't squeak. Solid piece of metal. You got other problems such as installing it improperly or your suspension is shot and can't take the extra weight

I guess I didnt mean the ARB itself was squeeking. Its metal on metal that makes a really high pitch squeek. IT sounds like its one little spot thats making the sound, not like the entire bumper is moving. :pat:

Maybe you got a mouse living in your ARB! Get a few buds, sit on the ARB, jump up and down, have another bud listen for squeaks and pinpoint the spot.

SQUEAK!

Its funny you say that because I had a rat living in my fan unit in my dash! I finally ripped my dash apart, the rat was gone but he left about 2 cups of dog food in the fan all up in that area. It was hilarious! So the dog food smell is just now starting to go away.

But about the bumper, I can grab onto it with both hands and pull up on it and then push down really hard and I hear a faint squeek. But need to pinpoint, but then what?

More help/weight shaking the bumper, pinpoint the said "squeak" and use some 3M De-Squeak spray on it! Nah, whatever it appears to be, loosen/tighten it, rip it off, blow it up, whatever it takes to stop the insane mind boggling earth shattering squeak!

Thanks for the help, I guess. Sorry to sound like a powder puff but I hate feeling like my car is falling apart. and you have to admit, "squeaks" can drive you crazy.
