Has anybody gotten a definitive answer/solution to the front end creaking during slow turns either forward or in reverse? I heard there is a Ford bulletin out on it.

I had this happening and it was my swau bar end links. They needed to be tighten and loktite needed to be on them.

TSB 09-24-16 - GRUNT/CREAK/SQUEAK/CHIRP NOISE FROM THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING OVER BUMPS - BUILT ON OR BEFORE 8/3/2009.

What's the fix???

They do a check to confirm the noise source is your lower control arms and if it is they replace them with new ones that have an improved hydro-bushing and a larger diameter ball joint shaft.

Perfect. Thanks. Now I at least have ammo when I go in.

Do you have the stock suspension? I have heard all the following can be contributors to front end noise:

1. Front Lower Control Arms - TSB 09-24-16.
2. Upper strut mounts - TSB 07-18-02.
3. Sway bar end links being loose.
4. Upper Strut retaining nut loose.
