Car is making creaking noise.?
I have a 2011 Ford Fusion SE and it s been making a creaking noise when turning or hitting bumps/driving rougher roads. It s been to the mechanic a few times for the power steering recall and a damaged hub bearing and wheel due to hitting a pot hole. I was told by one mechanic that it needs new ball joints and lower control arms. Should I get a second opinion or is that the main cause of this noise? I recorded it and can send upon request. May post on YouTube too.

This is a tough problem to find. I was taking mine to a mechanic who would repair something or another (such as wheel bearings on both sides) and it would stop squeaking for a short time and then start all over again after a few days. Well I found out the mechanic was also lubing the struts. So I think the problem was that the car needed new struts, but the mechanic knew I was going to get a new car before investing in struts. So he would replace something, and then lube the struts to keep them from squeaking long enough that I thought he fixed one problem, but something else was going out. Once I figured out what was going on, I gave up traded it in on a new car.
