Creaking noise from suspension

[ShaBoingBoing]

This has been an issue on S550s as well. I have a creaking sound. I replaced my camber arm thinking this would be the fix. Am now looking at replacing the rear vertical link.

Some folks on the S550 side say this sound happens after you lower your car. Interesting this is an issue on the S650 as well

I still have the issue bet have been ignoring it. It gets better when it’s above 80 outside so I’m of the opinion it’s sway bar bushings in my case. Unfortunately even though this sound was there when I got the car, I was stupid and lowered it so I doubt that ford will fix it under warranty

All of the suspension bushings should be "clocked" on a lowered car... With the car at ride height, loosen the bolts on the control arm bushings and sway bar bushings, then torque back to specs.

I have the same issue too, same noise when going slow 10k miles, I will tell the dealer to check next oil change

I have been encountering a creaking/grinding noise as well with the 2024 premium. Would this be the same? I have it on video

That almost sounds like a body weld came loose.

I had the same problem and found it was the Right Rear Seat. I put the seat down and the noise disappeared. So I lubricated the hinges on the seat and where it locks closed and the noise is gone. I did report this to Ford.

Hi there! Go ahead and send us a private message with your full name and VIN, I’ll look into this for you. Thanks!

Thanks Doug I could figure out, drive 10miles with seats down and no noise, I will lubricate everything.

by the way I hear some glass noise touching something on the rear windshield? normally when I go track mode because of the exhaust vibration.

I haven't had any rear glass noise.

I HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE

With 2024 mustangs, the dealers are supposed to remove something in the suspension that is used so the suspension does not move during shipping. Most dealers forget to do that, and it causes the squeaking problem! Hopefully this helps, bringing mine in soon.

Actually most dealers don't forget to remove those. Idiots
