We had a high pitched squeal in our 1996 RT, which turned out to be the rear door latch. We have the same sound in our present RT. It was tracked down to our continental tire vertical support arm. I have tried many cures - grease, WD40, etc., but the real cure is to separate the flanges from the vertical support by inserting shims on the pivot bolt. The actual shim insertions were difficult, to say the least, but my eldest son and I managed it, with a good dose of swear words.
When the continental tire is returned to vertical and ready for travel, the bolt that tightens the fore and aft action is tightened so that there is no movement of the retaining pin that runs side to side. If you have an RT with a continental tire option, you will know what I am talking about.
