Diagnose and silence rubber bushing squeaks in under an hour using one affordable spray.
Based on: Spray Away Car Creaks by Scotty Kilmer
What if that annoying creak your car makes every time you hit a bump had a $6 fix hiding in plain sight? You probably assumed it meant worn-out parts, an expensive repair, or a trip to the shop. Most people do. And that assumption costs them hundreds of dollars they never needed to spend.
Here's the reality: if your car squeaks and chirps over bumps but goes completely silent when it rains, your rubber bushings are almost certainly the culprit. Not a blown strut. Not a bad ball joint. Just dried-out rubber rubbing against metal — and it is one of the most common and most misdiagnosed noises in aging vehicles. The longer you ignore it, the more it grinds on your nerves, makes passengers uncomfortable, and quietly tricks you into thinking your car is falling apart.
Imagine pulling out of your driveway tomorrow morning and hearing nothing. No chirp. No creak. No little bird sound following you down every road. Just a quiet, confident ride. That is exactly what Scotty Kilmer achieved for a car owner in this video — a 9-year-old, 138,000-mile New England car that had survived years of road salt and Massachusetts winters — and he did it with a can of white lithium grease spray and about 45 minutes of work.
SCOTTY KILMER has been a professional mechanic for over 50 years and has built one of the most trusted automotive channels on YouTube with tens of millions of followers. He does not guess. He diagnoses. In this video, he walks through exactly how to check for worn parts first so you are not wasting money lubricating something that actually needs replacing, how to identify the right product (not regular WD-40, which eats rubber), and where to spray for maximum effect. His method is simple, proven, and requires no special mechanical background.
This checklist turns Scotty's full walkthrough into a clean, step-by-step action guide you can print out and take to your driveway. Every step is pulled directly from the video — from the initial test drive diagnostic to jacking the car safely, inspecting bushings and end links, choosing white lithium grease over silicone or standard WD-40, applying it correctly, and doing a final test drive confirmation. No steps skipped. No guesswork.
Grab the checklist, grab a can of WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease, and go fix that creak today.
Every checklist item comes with actionable notes to guide you — things like "Don't forget to do this before you start," "Avoid this common mistake," or "Set a reminder for 30 days out." Nothing vague, just clear next steps.
