Mine was squeaking like crazy.Nope. Never did. But... when my spare is mounted the right door pops off the top catch sometimes when its bumpy.
Hinges .... Good
Alignment ... Good
Tire / tire carrier ... Good
Ladder .... Good
Top striker .... Good
Bottom striker .... Not Good .... Although the door seemed to shut in a firm fashion, it was not sitting on the bottom striker in the correct way. After some adjustments, it's all quiet now. I can even hear my antique radio now.
