Question for those of you have a door mounted tire carrier like the Becky from acc garage, jw off-road, or bison gear.
Does it make a ton of noise?
Just got the Becky installed this week - I love this carrier and the look - but there’s this concerning (and somewhat annoying) metal fatigue / metal on metal creaking and groaning any time I go around a turn or hit some bumps in the road.
The tire is firmly mounted to the carrier - no wobble. The carrier is firmly mounted to the door. It sounds like it’s either flexing badly against the strike plate, or the door rubbing badly against the latches where it locks.
Nothing is in the back of the car. So it’s not stuff moving around.
Sound was constant and concerning enough that my gf and I opted to, sadly, leave the truck at home before our trip to the blue ridge mountains this week.
Anyone experienced this? Anything I can check before reaching out to ACC?
