Front End Creaking
Hey everyone,
I have a 2009 R55 S (83,000 miles), unfortunately been replacing a lot of different things over the past 3 months. Have about $3000 in, in that short span of time (I swear if something else major happens I`m trading it in!
). The new issue I`m running into is front end creaking. Low speeds the front passenger side from initial acceleration and also low speed bumps sounds like a pop or creak. Higher speeds this doesn`t exist. Also it doesn`t happen all the time. Some days it happens all day, others it may not happen at all or only every once in a while. I do not believe it is a suspension issue. Im thinkin more along the lines of an engine mount since I am also getting a little more torque steer than normal. Does this sound correct?

just had my r53 into the shop today for that exact problem. turns out that the pass control arm mount had a loose bolt. (PO had them replaced before i bought it). Might check to make sure everything is torqued correctly.
