front end creaking noise?

Mar 10, 2005 4 Replies

I have a little problem with my 2001 Concorde which currently has 48,000 miles. There seems to be an odd high pitched creaking noise near the inside of the left front wheel, and I can't figure out what's been causing it.


This noise occurs only when starting the vehicle in cool weather; after the car warms up (10-15 minutes of driving) it is gone. Furthermore, this noise is only there when the gear is in park or reverse, it is very quiet in neutral or drive! Another odd thing, it only occurs when the RPM is between



900-1500.


Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.


Are you hearing a belt noise??

I don't think so. The noise is coming from the bottom rear left of the engin. Near the inside of the left front wheel as stated before.

If you turn the steering wheel back and forth, does the noise change pitch or volume?
