creaking noise

Post by MR2YEN »

Hey guys, i get a metallic creaking noise whenever i brake hard or i put my foot down on the accelerator full quick. However when i go over speed bunps etc it usually doesnt make the noise. The previous owner said it is either droplinks or bushes? Does that sound right and if so where/how much can i get them fixed?

    Could be droplinks or engine mounts (lower ones) - they are the most common things to go on the front. Could also be control arm bushings.

    How much do you guys think it will cost plus labour to fix? and can just any suspension place do it or is it complicated?

    Hey lwrida, just wondering if you have found out what was wrong from the mechanic? Its like a singular metallic click sound.

    Hey sorry I forgot about this.

    He was telling me the control arm bushes.
