My 98.5 Contour SVT developed a squeak in the past month....Its where the strut mounts in upper part of the body....Right rear...Car has 106k on it and they are the orginal struts and springs...I know its time to replace them but all I drive is freeway miles daily (80 miles roundtrip)....I see there is a upper strut rubber mount that BAT sells...Could this be the part thats bad????
 
Had this problem fixed back in the last week of October......Was the insulator on top of the right rear strut.....Took the local Ford dealer a few days to get the right part............
 
yeah they can get dried out and develop a squeak. i re-used mine because they looked fine. i greased them up though. that might be why they don't squeak. metal on rubber can do that when the rubber is dry and hard.
 
Ummm ... my front passenger keep on squeaking when go for a complete stop and when I go on bumpy road. So if this is easy to solve, I would appriciate if someone can explain in detail how to solve this.

Have you checked your spring for cracks or breaks? I had the same problem and found that I had a broken spring at the seat. I just had the front spring recall done and viola no more squeaking.
