Creaking in front suspension
Created August 26, 2009, at 12:32 am by rmcmilla
I have a 09 FEH with under 12K miles, purchased 10 months ago. The left front suspension creaks while "off loading the front suspension" (brake released, starting to accelerate) or "loading up" (coming to a stop). It has been to the dealer once. They could not find the problem but they took apart the front left suspension and re-greased everything in site. Problem solved for 1k miles. The creaking has returned. Not really a big problem, just annoying. Has anyone else have or had this problem? The dealer is earnest but I think a bit of a loss to explain what is happening.
Thanks

I have ~14,000 on my '09 FEH and no problems yet. I take fast hard turns to keep up speed for MPG also. Have you checked the alignment? Could you have hit something and damaged a shock absorber or something? Has the dealer confirmed the noise?
The repair manual states that a noise can come from a reactor and repairing the reactor will not solve the problem. Also, the originator of the noise can be transferred through a conductor to another component. Look outside the box like even the tire or rim for the cause of the noise. I have defective rims on my '02 Explorer and that has caused my rear end gears to start making a whining noise now as an example. Good Luck!
