Iconic Bionic My engine bay is Bionic Donating Members 3,726 Member For: 19y 1m 21d Gender: Male Location: Freeways Posted 26/03/07 01:26 AM Share Posted 26/03/07 01:26 AM Everytime it rains the front end of my car just creaks over every bump. Its a BF1 with 7000ks on it and as it doenst rain much anymore it dosent happen that often. Its really loud for a few days after the rain stops and then it goes away. Never had it in the dry but when it creaks I dont want to even drive it.Each time I take it to Ford, they say they tigheten everything back up but until it rains again I cant tell if its fixed and it never is.Nothing but whiteline swaybars for the front suspenision. So I hope someone on here knows what its all about.I.B. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33600-front-end-creaking/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a creak in my car that i thought was suspension related...eventually traced it to the driver seat height adjustment mechanism...now i just need to fix it...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!
