Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / January 2006Squeaky suspension on fiesta
I have a ford fiesta 1.25SI 1996 and basically when there is any movement on teh car from just sitting in it to actually driving the car squeaks and clunks. It has been like this for a while but seems to be more constant now. I think its the suspension but does anyone have any other thoughts?? If it is the suspension or some part of it does anyone know how much it will cost to get sorted coz its really embarrasing when there are passengers in the car? ?

It suddenly began moaning and groaning and squeaking from the front left corner whether sitting still or driving, and while turning. And the front left didn't pass the bounce test. You could push down on the fender and it would stay where I stopped, groaning along the way. And if I lifted up from under the fender lip I got the same thing. A few squirts of grease into the zerks solved the problem. Could be you need a good lube... -- Spike 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback 2+2, Vintage Burgundy w/Black Std Interior, A Code 289 C4 Trac-Lok; Vintage 40 16" rims w/225/50ZR16 KDWS BF Goodrich gForce Radial T/As, Cobra drop; surround sound audio-video...

As you can see there can be a plethora of sources for vehicular noises |
