FORD:

ISSUE
A "chucking/squeaking" and/or "creaking" noise may be heard from the rear doors while driving over bumps and/or during a hard turn while stopping.
This may be caused by the rear door striker bar positioned incorrectly.
ACTION
Correctly position striker bar. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Verify chucking, squeaking, and/or creaking sound(s) are present while driving on non-smooth surfaces (e.g. gravel/rough roads). The sound may
also be present under a hard turn (stop-to-stop) condition and/or when the vehicle is in a body-flex situation (i.e. turning in parking lot or
driveway).
