SoCalSHO Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 So I can hear it mostly after the car warms up. Coming from the left front suspension somewhere. It seems like a typical noise you would hear on an older FWD car. It happens while driving at speeds lower than 50. It is almost a clank or bump noise, sometimes with a squeak. I am sure I will end up going to the dealer, but from what I have been reading lately, it does not seem that they will be of any help. Could be a bearing, loose suspension somewhere. Any more ideas?

SHOdded Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Could be a swaybar bushing or an improperly seated spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geswek Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'll know more next week; the SHO is going in for that issue and another; Clicking in wheels when moving (only hear it in parking garage) Clicking/Thumping when turning the wheels while stationary--happens at weird spots in the lock range--can nearly have it do so on command.

SoCalSHO Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Does it sound like this? If it does its the wheel hubs. Had mine replaced already and the right side is doing it again. No, mine car has to be moving, and the suspension needs to be working, like compressing/decompressing over bumps. But thanks for the video.

SoCalSHO Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Well, car is in the shop. I'm taking bets. Will they say they fixed it or will they say they can't duplicate the problem (but we gave it the sunshine treatment.) BTW, my dealer is kinda lame, but I did get a rental (2013 Fusion SE, 1.6L EB), pretty weak, worse gas mileage than my SHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSHO Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Well they were able to duplicate the noise. They ordered a new strut. Say it will take 6 days. At least they are paying for the rental fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIP-4-SHO Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Do you have lowering springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSHO Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Nope, stock springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSHO Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 So, the Strut came in early and they replaced it today. They replaced another item right near the strut, and they test drove it. It did not help, They want to keep it and do more test drives, but my SA was asking me if I knew of anyone else having the problems. I told her, not exactly, but that I would ask the experts (You guys). So any other suggestions. I am going to read the other posts here and elsewhere.

Carson Lomax Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Upper strut bearing. There was a problem with the strut bearings on our 2012 Focus and it wouldn't surprise me if the Taurus needs them too. I've started noticing a faint creaking in my 2010 SHO with 65,000 miles.

SoCalSHO Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 That may be the other part they replaced, it sounds familiar. But I will let them know. Thanks much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSHO Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 So far, so good. Seems to be fixed. Replaced the strut, shock, strut mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
closcer Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I also have a clanking sound on heavy acceleration when I let off the gas. It has to be suspension related, my car is lowered with h&r Springs Sent from my SCH-I545 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
