This car had rubber parts every which way you turn when you look into the undercarriage.  It had rubber bands for springs. It even had all-rubber U-joints

Are we talking model cars here? Rubber band springs? All-rubber
U-joints? None of the five GT-6's (all three Marks) I owned were so
equipped, and I must have changed at least a dozen U-joints.
The tip for diagnosing rubber squeaks is great, should save lots many us
a lot of grief. Thanks!
