How many kays has your car got on it? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88998-fg-front-suspension-creaking-lock-to-lock/#findComment-1493421 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it symptomatic of a worn bush or a ruined one?

Not exactly convenient but its how a lot of manufacturers are going now. Only other thing I can think of is the strut tops - they could be wearing but there is minimal movement in them since the shock doesn't mount to the hub.

Rekons there are about 5 different part numbers for them. Whats the difference with the arms or is it the bushes?
