Squeaks and creaks heard while driving over bumps and turning can be caused be a couple common sources and should be carefully diagnosed. Possible weld issues on the lower control arms can cause the noise concerns and require repair kits for the lower control arms from Ford. A jounce bumper (bump stop) rubbing against dry strut plate can cause an abrasion noise from the strut area. In this case the strut assembly should be disassembled to lubricate the jounce bumper and then reinstalled.

    i have recently started hearing a creaking noise coming from my car when i make a right or left turn. Is the only solution to take it to the dealership, about how much will this cost me?

    Been to two different ford dealerships the first one was a complete joke as they had no idea at all and didnt want to try. The second more reputable dealership replaced upper and lower swing ball joints. No problme until it just turned cold again now its back at it. My wife is scared to drive it and we just got it paid off, seems like they had a sensor installed to start having problems right after it was paid for.

    I get the same noise when turning right and on bumps. Two places said they didn't hear it until I pointed it out to them. One finally decided it might be the ball joint. I'm going for a third opinion soon and will tell them about the comments here.

    I have a 2008 fusion with the same issue - squeaks and creaks over bumps and on turns. It appears to be worse when it is cold. I brought it to our local mechanic and they indicated it was the struts. It is not a safety issue, so I did not have them repaired. Maybe this should be a recall?

    Just noticed serious creaking on my drive home today. It is 80 degrees, so cold temps aren't the problem. Is this something I need to have looked at right away, like a U-joint or something?

    Passenger side front suspension creaks when going under 30mph driving over bumps. It only is noticable when it is cold out (below freezing)
