Front suspension creak New Addition 7.5 2020 Estate/Station Wagon

[Aaron1875]

Hi All

I seem to have the dreaded suspension creak, is this likely to be the lower control arm bushings ? or the shocks ? Or top mount ?

Vehicle has applied approx 28k mls.

Is there a Uk technical service bulletin or TPI that someone can share ?

I have 2 year extended warranty.

Yes...all the information you shared. Along with sway bar endlinks, tie rods, or ball joints....

Is it a "creak," a "thud," or something else? Also, where does it seem to be coming from?

Soak the forward and rearward front LCA bushings in some kind of silicone spray, like a liquid that will creep in. Jack it up or put it on ramps and just hose them down like 3 times. It should go away for a while.

does it make a noise when you turn the wheels at a stop? if so, look at LCA bushings.
if it's when you're turning at low speed, look at the strut mounts/bearings.

I have this one and it's definitely coming from the upper strut mount/bearing area. Can't really reach it with silicone spray or anything without some disassembly, so I'm just living with it. Only really notice it when backing out of the garage and stuff.
