Focus squeaky / creaking front suspension

Hi all

Had my new (02 - 2002) Focus Zetec 1.6 for a week now. When going over speed bumps or heavy breaking (when just about down to 0mph) the front suspension creaks. My partners mum and dad have a newer version of the same car (53 - 2003) and they say theirs does the same.

Anyone else out there got the same happening? It came with a 12 month warranty so I might take it in.

Well it is booked in under warranty to be looked at.

Well i was told that "I would expect it is covered under the warranty" - So no cost to me I hope. Just the hire car fee.

Well a recommendation for JCT600 where i got the car from.

Suspension is NOT covered under the warranty BUT....

4 years old but as ive only had it a week they are going to replace the shocks and then take a look at the backs once the fronts are sorted.

They are also replacing the middle and back parts of the exhaust as they've noticed another problem.

JCT600 - so far well done.... but it is a car dealer so I wont be holding my breath!
