Hi All,

Just bought an 03 Focus LX.

It's making a creaking/squeaking sound when I go over bumps or make it lurch. I've made a youtube clip of it. It sounds louder than on the clip, but I'm sure you'll get the idea.

Any clues to what it might be and what I'd need to do to fix at home (or is it a garage job)?

thats weird, possibly a shock or strut that has gone bad or a shock or strut mount also, do you know what side and/or front or back of where its coming from?

I clearly know what the problem is.. Your steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car..

Ho, ho...you'll be telling me I can't spell next ;-)

I appreciate the response in any event

It's coming from the front passenger side (bearing in mind it's a right hand drive, as Serenity points out ;-)
