I'm going to try to get to the bottom of this noise. My car started out with just a slight creaking but now is much louder. I have about 2,500 miles on it so far.

The local Ford dealer has confirmed that there is an undated lower control arm coming out in August that will have a polyurethane bushing that is supposed to take care of our susension noise. We just have to hold out another month or so.

mine is doing the exact same thing, 2012 gt kona blue. only when i go over speed bumps really slow can i hear it, but sure its there. thought it was my springs or something but that does make sense. dealers will fix this for free if they can find it?

Do you know if Ford came out with the new lower control arm with the polyurethane bushings this past August?

I think it's terrible for Ford not face up to the problem and rather face a lemon lawyer. I guess it's cheaper for them that way but Ford is making owners angry so which is cheaper?

My local dealer is still waiting for the Control Arms to be shipped to the dealer. He has a list of people waiting to receive the new arms.
