Car makes a creaking noise while driving, what could be the issue?
I have a 2009 Ford Explorer that when I'm driving it makes a creaking noise-the kind of noise if you heard a door or something like that making a similar sound you'd just spray some WD-40 and be good to go. I know the brakes are a possible issue, but the creaking sound is more when I'm actually driving and not braking.
Any guesses?
Can be a strut or shock. Try bouncing the corners of your Ford to isolate the sound. Can also be a bushing that is making the sound. You probably need to put it on a lift and inspect everything.
Ball joints would be my first guess with out driving the vehicle.
Hat's how Fords tell you the parts haven't fallen off yet.
Do you have a Brakes Plus or similar place that you could take the car to for a diagnosis?
Explorers are best known for defective front suspenion parts. Usually a 500- $ 800 repair but pretty reliable other that. Get it checked! Can be a dangerous situation if something fails.
Probably a nylon or rubber bush in your suspension. With a Ford explorer the time to worry is when you don't have a squeak, it means something has fallen off
- 2000 Ford Taurus Popping noise while driving? Have a popping noise while driving, typically i would expect something simple like ball joints, tie rods, cv axle etc. But its at an odd time, its randomly while driving straight, no bumps or anything. It kind of sounds like something is hitting the underside of the car like a chunk of mud. Any ideas? Ball joint are new and the axles don't pop or make noises when turning. Someone suggested the engine mount on passenger side. This is the DOHC variation.
