Cracking/squeaking sound?
Hey everyone,
Got a question when i run over bumps my car makes a loud squeaking/cracking sound. I have replaced my front struts, a-arms, and god knows how many bushings. What could this be? Also if i push hard on my front fender it makes that noise. My struts hold air and my pump motor sound fine. Could this be my engine mounts? the dealer said they were collapsed, but i cant beleive it would make that much noise even with the engine off.
thanks for any help.

i think i may have similar problme.
how much was it to fix?
did you do ball joint and pay more labor, or just go w/ complete replacement of control arm?
did you do upper and lower?
how much total?

I did the whole control arm, with ball joint. the arm was 200 the ball joint was 75 and 200. i took it to a local shop. But i had them give me my control arm and i dont understand how it can be bad since it is just a steel arm, very dirty but i dont see how it can be bad?
