Creaking suspension

MILO GR · 01-09-2016, 01:21 PM

Just had my running in service and raised that when doing 3 point turns or tight slow action i get a creak / squeek from what I thought was the suspension or brakes.

Dealer said it was the same in the 3 F8x's they have in at the moment and just 'one of those things'.

I called BS on it and made a point by pushing down on either rear corner then it is parked, you can hear a creak.

anyone else got this, is it normal, should I kick off and take it back....?

Thanks in advance.

I've noticed the same thing when doing 3 point turns. Mentioned it to dealers they said it's normal. Pretty friendly with one of their mechanics and he said in the ones they've looked at they found no problems.
