Suspension/Body Creaking

Post by kelvin6 »

My 850 creaking sound (noticibly from the front of the car) whenever the car is making a slow full turn (ie, U-Turn anything that requires the steering wheel to be turned all the way). I'm guessing something related to the suspension? I'm no suspension expert, but I think something is worn out.

There are other suspension problems, my shocks are noticibly worn out as well. The ride isn't as smooth as its supposed to be (compared to another S70 I've riden in), actually a bit rough. I'll guess they are still the stock ones in there :shock: . I could also use a alignment as well as the car does lean to the left slightly.
