White lithium grease

Any recommendations?

I had the same creaking noise also. I sprayed the rear sway bar bushings, rear seat latches, and rear seat pivot points with IES silicone spray. I don’t know which area fixed it since I did them all at the same time, but I no longer have any creaking.

I bought some Lucas lithium grease from Home Depot today I just don’t exactly where to apply it regarding the back seats

Fold the rear seats down so you can access the latch mechanisms. Apply lubrication to the latch mechanisms. The pivot points are the components that allow the seat to fold. They are more difficult to access but not that bad.

Ok thanks. It seems to be very common I wonder what causes it to creak tbh

When you say latch mechanisms are you referring to the part that catches the seat and holds it in the upright position? I believe I see the pivot point but not to sure and with this Lucas white lithium grease I’m not sure how I can get grease in there.

I would just grease every hinge bro. You cant mess anything up. Just dont put so much you make a mess. Also open and close said hinges multiple times.

Have you figured out the squeak in the back? I noticed even on my 19 when I would detail wax it if I pressed on the rear quarter and bumper area it would squeak ridiculously loud. Havent had a driving sqeaks other than when I'm cutting the wheels hard right or left backing out of the garage. Fairly level driveway also.

Thanks SidewaysMike Ill check that out and see if thats whats causing the sound. Sadly I checked the rear seat latches and U bracket then drove with the seats down and the sound was still there. I had my gf get in the trunk of the car as well and we narrowed it down to the passenger side rear taillight area. It sounds like a coil or spring compressing and then stretching back out. It could be something realated to the suspension but after having narrowed it down to the taillight area I figured I would see if maybe it was the body panels or taillight itself. After messing with the panels and taillight I found that only the passenger tailight squeaks when it is pushed down on or manipulated. I also found out that if you push on my rear quarter panel near the rear bumper the sound you hear in the video can be lightly heard. Im wondering if the taillight is the issue or if its a mixture of the taillight and a body panel rubbing against something. Ill post videos of what Im talking about later this week. I am sadly dealing with a tint issue at the moment as well. I had a highly rated(4.9stars out of 5) tint shop tint my mustang 15% all around excluding the windshield. The shop did a good job on the front two windows but completely ruined the rear window and quarter windows. There is contamination and air bubbles throughout my rear window near all of the defrosting wires. As well as air bubbles in the quarter windows and the dot matrix. Im Taking the car back to the tint shop Friday and hopefully having it fully repaired free of charge. Wish me luck!

Yeah it was the seat hinge that’s visible when you drop the seat down I rubbed grease on it and it went away.

I had a squeak took it to The dealer for a 2018 mustang the dealer replaced all the rear suspension and all the control arms but it still Didn’t fix it a Friend Of mine replicated the sound But here’s a photo after the dealer zipped tied it thinking That would fix it

this is what my car does.

That sounds exactly like what my car is doing, thanks for posting the video. I first noticed it in the parking garage at work when I would turn into an incline. I can't really hear it when I'm up to speed all that much because road noise probably blocks it out, but I definitely hear it when the rear goes over speed bumps at low speeds or when I'm turning while reversing, as well as when I'm transitioning from a flat surface to an incline surface while turning.

- Checked the rear sway bar end links, they seemed fine
- Replaced the rear sway bar bushings, no luck
- Checked the torque on the lower control arms, toe links, upper control arms, and sway bar links, and they were fine.
- Checked the torque on the axle nuts, and they were torqued properly. I re-torqued them with blue Loctite and the noise didn't go away.
- Checked the wheel bearings with the car on jack stands, and my wheels have zero play, so I think they're fine.

I was about to start greasing some of the bushings and check the rear seat pivot points, but I'll take a look at these hoses (look like evap hoses to me, but I'll have to take a more detailed look). It looks like the sound is coming from the clips that hold them in place as they pivot. I'll see if that's the source of my issue too.

My brand new 1 week old my19 has 220km (137 miles) on the clock and makes that fucking sound when driving over 30km/h (18 mph). It sounds like a fucking box of polystyrene foam. I'm so annoyed.

Ford, wtf is going on here. Do you cunts not take pride in your products anymore??
