Creaking sound from 96 Crown Vic

Jul 03, 2003 4 Replies

Any ideas about a creaking sound from underneath the driver's floor/footwell area on a 96 Crown Vic? Most noticeable during warmer weather, and during slow-downs, turns. Springs appear to be fine, and there's no sagging. I've been told this is common (from a cop who drives one, but was unable to tell me exactly what the diagnosis was). Any ideas?


I can't resist...

ALL things creak more as they age:-))

Could be your ball joints need greased/replaced.

How about when you turn the steering while sitting still?

Bounce the car? Make a stethoscope and check it out... could be a frame crack or ball joint.
