amanda Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hi i wonder if anyone has any ideas as to what is wrong with my baby. Aprox 6 months ago i had both wishbones replaced, now i am getting the same noise again when going over bumps at low speed. The noise seems to be comming from the front left hand side. Do you have any ideas of what it could be and how much it might cost. Cheers Amanda :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 i would have the drop links looked at as they go aswell a garage will charge you a small fortune to do them ask a fried to do them for you a wishbone should cost you about £10.00 then 20 mins to replace it. i have a spare one here if you want it as i just done 1 of mine but purchased 2 of them email me where you are & i will do it for you if your in my area & charge you £10.00 for the part & fitting it otherwise contact me on on my email & i can post it to you i am pretty sure it's this part as i just done both lower suspensin/wishbones. ford will charge you about £40.00 for this part + fitting to check if it's the drop link ask a friend to hold the link/ it looks like a bar thet comes off the suspension & drops to the wheel about 6mm in diamitor get him/her to shake it & you push down on the wing of the car & if she/him feels any movement from either side it's defo gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky pilot Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I had a awful sqeeking sounded like a spring creeking all the tim from the front left, turned out it was the suspection link just needed oiling LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz6076 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Could be a number of different things. As already mentiond droplinks are a favourite and can be checked easily with the help of a friend as delboy describes. Another easy thing to check that quite often goes is the top strut mounts. Give each spring a good tug back and forth. Any movment would suggest this is the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
