Squeaking and knocking small knocking noise

Postby Steve192 » Mon Jan 15, 2018 4:51 pm

My 2012 Euro 5 mk7 Transit swb has developed a squeaking noise and a slight knocking noise. It did it when I went over speed bumps to begin with but now it does it when I turn on flat ground too sometimes.

It’s exactly the same noise as in the video below.

Could some point me in the right direction to fix this please?

Obviously it's "suspension" related....at a guess I'd be looking at ball joint, wishbone bushes, upper shock mount/turret.

Sometime a goodly spritz with WD-40 in the appropriate area can isolate the noise and eliminate any possible faulty bits.

You'll need to get her up in the air or on stands to get it looked at properly.
