In this video I document a creaking sound coming from the front end of a 2012 Ford Fusion and then discuss what I think is causing it.

Same issue, 2010. Only when it's hot out or I've been sitting idling for a while getting everything nice and toasty under the hood. I think the best thing I can do is replace the entire car..
With how many things wrong with this car, im with ya on that one!!
Mine stopped making the noises suddenly. 🤷🏼♂️
But the wheel bearings sound like they're about to start a grass fire.
Hello my friend there is sound while driving like the one comes when the tires touch the road voom voom did you check it before the car had a hard accident from the front side as we change all the front side
This is the exact issue I have. Sounds on mine are just like in your video.
Hey Scott. Like you I have been chasing front end noises on my fusion. Had the creaking noise was lower control arms. Replaced every suspension part. Now I have a clunking sound. Looks like my steering rack has play. Hope new inner tie rods fixes it. But it’s good to know I’m not alone
ptrck6 My next video will be replacing the lower control arms. We are chasing the same noises.
Hey Ptrck6, did the new inner tie rods fix it? Just curious.
Would be nice to know. I'm having it too
Sway bar links -> groaning, crunching, clunking when slowing or going uphill
Ball joint -> groaning, uneven tire wear
Wheel hub -> play in wheel, howling
Cv axle -> play in steering, crunching, howling, groan when turning
Tie rods -> play in steering, groan or clicking when turning
Control arms (bushing)-> clunking going over bumps, groaning when cornering
If you have clunking, I would first inspect the control arm bushings and consider replacing sway bar links.

Did you get creaking when turning the wheel? My buddy thought it was my motor mount and transmission mount. Replaced and still there. Factory recall on power steering plug and still there. But hopefully soon i can change the struts and let ya know. Thanks for this video!
Was it the struts? Mines making so much noise
same issue.. suspansions and upper mouth are change but noise still continue...
Mine is a 2018 hybrid and I hear the noise when the car comes to 0 and the noise is the same when you switch from Park to Drive.
Is it safe to drive when its making this noise? I get nervous when the car isnt 100%
I have a 2012 hybrid as well, and the front suspension has been a nightmare. I’ve replaced both lower forward control arms 3x, outer tie rods at least once each, struts (quick struts with mounts) three times, left inner tie rod, the rear lower control arms, and the sway bar links. I’m still getting the creaking. The only thing I haven’t done is try to replace the upper control arms. I’m wondering if it’s a bushing on that, but I’m also starting to wonder if it’s something in the frame itself. I have 170K miles on it. Do you have any more updates? I saw on another comment that you thought it was the end links that needed tightening?
Same exact problem on my 2011 Fusion Hybrid. Took a shot at replacing complete struts. Didn’t fix it (but at 120k on original struts good to replace anyway.) eventually took it to Ford. Turned out to be control arm bushings. Fixed and 20k later, still good. Bushings just dried out. Ford told me it wasn’t a mandatory repair. But the noise bothered me too much. Hint: if the sound goes away when driving in the rain, it’s likely control arm bushings.
That sounds like crunching my 2011 sounds like actual creaking like you would hear on a old door that creaks I replaced the struts with a set of quick struts and it began the creaking. I was told to replace due to a broken spring car tracks straight and doesn't wear tires but creaking has to go bought cheap struts so maybe I am learning the hard way and may have to replace
After I replaced all the crap on the suspension in the front, we found out it was the lower front control arm, the universal one you use on the right or left side. The creaking stopped after that.
My 2011 is fine never did this. My other car 2007 started doing this. It drives me crazy lol. Same fckn noise!! Did u ever fix it??
I'm also curious... I have a 2010 fusion, my noise is not as pronounced as yours Scott, but I recently replaced everything on my fusion front end.. Inner and outer tie rod, sway bar links and bushings, all 3 control arms, struts (quick struts, so the compete assembly) and since I had it all torn it I put new cv axles in as well. So this on both sides. Everything is new and I still hear a noise. Maybe I'm just crazy and it's the sound of the strut compressing. The car is much smoother though!
Matt Kladder truth be told, I am still working through this. I have now replaced most of the suspension ( everything accept tie rods), most of the creaking is gone, but some still remains. The ride though is excellent and every part I replaced was in need of replacement.
@@ScottsGarage17 I'm going to keep up with your channel, if you find something, please post it, I appreciate channels like yours, the cost savings from performing our own maintenance is wonderful, and you help make that a reality!
I pretty much did everything you did and also had engine mount, torque mount, and rear sway bar links replaced. The darn sound is still there and getting worse. I don't know what else is left to be replaced to get rid of the sound.
Where did you get your suspension parts? I want to replace a lot for my 2010 Fusion.
How much did that run you?
Have either of you had any luck with finding the noise? I've noticed on hot days the more I drive and the hotter it is, the worse this noise is.
Hi Tamila, I basically replaced everything except the tie rods. I have finally gotten rid of the noise. What it ended up being for me was the front sway bar links needing to be tightened more. I had replaced them but still had the noise but at a lower level. I took the wheels off and double checked everything. The sway bar links weren't completely tight. I found the right allen wrentch to deep the stud from turning. This did it and the noise went away. I am still chasing a rear chassis noise though. I will make a video on this. Hope this helps.
@@ScottsGarage17 I will try that and see if it works. Thank you.
@@tamiladorton2519 was it the sway bar links?
@@myPOmadAF yes it was.
Could you feel the creaking in the steering while turning I have a 2011 fusion and trying to figure that noise out lol
Did you ever find the problem?
@@clintgranado8580 no I have not lol.
@@timmytobin46 hey bro do you have door panel squeeking becuase i recently heard one and how to fix it ??
@@elrami4159 no
Same been there for months!
I have the same exact noise. Did you figure out exactly what was the issue?
I was hit by a drunk driver and the car was totaled. I never completely solved it.
@@ScottsGarage17 glad you are okay, my car just started making this noise but faintly
