    Is it squeaky due to the weight of the tyre and wheel?? Try throwing some tape (not much, but enough to "tighten" up the locking mechanism as it were) around the top locking bar thingy, and the one on the large barn door also .. I did that, and whilst it wears through after a while, it definitely stops the squeaks ...

    Hey Biggus, Try using heatshrink on the locking bar, it lasts for ages.

    This may be a silly question, but how do you get the heat shrink on there, some pics would be great.

    reviving an old thread here but since taking the spare off the rear door on my 09 GU, thing rattles like crazy. have done the dry lube, normal grease, lithium grease and I forgets what else but no luck.

    from what I can gather it the centre latch rubbing against itself (kinky) causing the rattle but no idea on how to get rid of it
