Squeaky Center Console
My center console squeaks when I'm driving. A lot. It's really loose, but I can't figure out how it bolts on. I took the tray out of it and didn't see and bolts or anything. Anyone help me out? It's driving me crazy lol

Nah, they're just regular seats, and the console is right between em.

Your fix: pull that pile out and get an Explorer center console. Just look up on "the other forums" or a quick Google search, ford ranger shorty center console removal.

With that being said if you don't want to swap, take it apart and see were it was loose at and tighten it down throw some padding or foam, something down.
And if your arm is broken it's more cost effect just to swap in an expo center console if the broken arm is bugging you that bad.
Metal Arm #100 something like that on rockauto $54+tax
Center console
$24 from my local yard
$9 for paint
$2 for some material to recover the lid
And it's a kickass upgrade for your interior. Super useful.

I thought I read that those are notorious for braking the mounts or something? Not sure I have a full length console and love it

Re: Squeaky Center Console
FX4 Beast, appreciate the diagram. And yeah, it appears a mount is broken. I just slapped some gorilla glue on it and if it doesn't hold, I'll bungee it to the passenger seat or something. Cause I'm gonna get me one of those expo consoles. Sexy, they look. But need money first, I do
