I have a squeak or creak. It happens over bumps and when turning the wheels. The first thing I was told was control arm bushings.Now I believe the logic that drew that conclusion was sound,we may have just been thinking about different sounds.
Well today I have had enough and finally crawled under the car and put my ear to the area.One ear on ground and one ear up to the control arm. And I definitely hear the sound coming from the spring "well" area. Both shock bolts are there and tightened up.
My car sounds like an old bed. I can't see any cracks in the spring from just underneath it, I count 4 coils I can see clearly.
My car also sits level in the front.
There is no mistaking where this sound is coming from. I just dont know why ?
If I face the undercarriage I can hear the sound on my left at the shock mount and not on my right where the C-arm bushings are. My bushings also look fine, Not all smashed up and cracked like the 97's were.
I have a cracked garage floor,cold weather and barely any room.So I am trying to do as much diagnosing before I fire up the heaters and apply 3 layers of clothes.
