[V8] turkey gobble -- even worse!

[Scott Simmons]

One last thing on this issue.

Worst part of the entire T-Belt job

Worse than any under-hood noises

Is the noise coming from my door panel.

We had to "jack the car" onto the ramps b/c of the lip spoiler, so the 
car was jacked about 2 ft into the air before the ramps were moved in 
underneath it.  This, undoubtedly, tweaked the body.

Now the driver's door panel creaks with every bump I go over.  I've 
opened and closed the door many times.  Pulled up on the speaker box, 
pushed down, pulled forward, pushed backwards, messed with the plastic 
running board piece, messed with the kick panel, cursed, and prayed.

The door is rock steady on its bolts and doesn't wiggle at all when open.

Someone help before I go nuts from that noise!
