Got a ford orion 1.8i ghia 1994 and the front passenger side suspension creeks quite a bit....any body got any ideas what it might be? im hoping its not gonna be expensive...WD40 and duck oil help in the short term but it has come back again.

sounds like it could be a bushe on its way out. u say wd40 works abut where do u spray it

all over the suspension and shockers.....only lasts for a while but the noise drives me nuts

ive got exactly the same problem on my 94 escort saloon is this a common thing

monkey24

is it front passenger side?

bones96

yes it is why??

monkey24

guessing it must be a common problem.....drivers rear wheel bearing went after 47,000 miles but was a nice quick cheap fix....apart from that and the suspenion ive had no probs....off to a ford main dealer in the next day or 2 to see if they can diagnose the problem for me....will post the response.

Still got the squeaky suspension....ford wanted me to book it in for a day to diagnose the problem....they can fook off....dont really wanna pay them for standing around and looking at it....lol..if it is the bushes where will i see them and will it be obvious if there fooked? ....i know i need a new cv joint gaiter coz the old one is split to buggery but will that make the suspension sound squeaky?....i know the cv joint itself is ok coz it doesnt click or knock when on full lock......its front passenger side btw....please help its driving me mental

Ford orion 1.8i ghia 1993/1994 is pulling to one side, left or right, or sometimes both alternating one side to the other( wobble) under heavy acceleration....is this normal or is something up?....doesnt pull either way under braking either normal or hard breaking....old car was a 306 Dturbo so wasnt as quick off the mark so i dunno if its normal or not
