Rusty mattress
So I'm getting tired of the old rusty squeaky mattress the jeep makes...It doesn't matter if I'm going 2mph or 70mph. I've retorqued everything, I've regreased my control arms, sprayed lube in all the bushings but still sounds like a someone having sex on a rusty broken spring bed. Any suggestions? 2010 JKU Procomp 4" stage II short arm lift kit. 20k miles. Is it the bushings?

^^I like the smartassness.
My jeep doesn't make sex sounds, but I have stock springs and dampers. I'll talk to my buddy about it, he has a similar setup on his xj

This is my fourth jeep and never had this problem with any of them. I'm not looking for it to be a cadillac but it shouldn't sound the way it does. Its not a piece of shit. I take pride in my cars.

Have you thought about the plastic grill thing under the hood cowl? The standoffs are hard plastic clips that slide into metal slots at the sides and bottom. Also it supports the metal cowl. It was the source of the styrofoam ice chest sound as well as a rattle. I put rubber between all metal and plastic contacts ann it made a world of difference! There is a thread about it somewhere that I could not locate fast.m

It's definitely coming from the suspension all over especially when the jeep rocks quite a bit. Its not just a squeak here and there its a consistent errr ehhh errr ehh is the best way to say it sounds like. Or sex on an old bed. whichever you prefer.
