![]() My '98 V6 5spd has developed a creeking noise from the right rear. The noise only happens on accelerating in 1st gear and sometimes in 2nd. Any suggestions?
Thanks |

![]() not sure could be brakes. Could be axle or drive shaft.

![]() Do you have sub-frame connectors? Stangs have a habit of "losening up" over time. Could be the chassis flexing under load, causing body panels or interior panels to creak as they move around a little. Subs are always a good iead for a stang, it may solve your problem.

![]() Thanks for your reply. I think you are right and this has been my thought since the creek appears to be coming from the welded brackets for the upper control arm. I have applied some spray undercoat sound deadner in the area and have applied some self sticking sound deading panels from the inside. It has helped but I am still looking.
I did see a posting on Flatrate tech that a Mustang owner found that the control arm bracket welds had broken loose on a '01 GT. Thanks again! |
