Well, that was worthless...
I just got rid of the squeak under my Contour a couple weeks ago. It was the sway bar bushings...Very easy...
Follow the FAQ and you'll do great!!
I'm sorry that my tongue-in-cheek innuendo offended you. I thought some slightly suggestive humor that did not directly state anything vulgar would inject a smile for a few people. It would certainly be preferable to the flames that occur all to frequently, but your subtle objection is a point taken.
The squeak turned out to be a combination of dry sway bar bushings and an emergency brake line rubbing against the body. Fixing these problems were no where near as big of a pain as changing the transmission fluid and filter on my wife's Ford ZX-2. A front-to-rear crossmember coveres one half of the transmission fluid pan. A swivel joint and socket as well as a boxend wrench were required. The job also required using a floor jack to raise the engine/transaxle approx. 1/2". The engineers responsible should be required to perform 10 fluid changes in five days as punishment.
