Evening all,

bought a 2005 Focus Zetec Climate 1.6  petrol, a few months back, and recently there has been a squeaking/creaking/clunking noise coming from what seems to be the passenger side of the car sometimes  front and rear, I checked the anti-roll bars and they seem fine. not to sure what else it might be... 

any suggestions?

cheers
