- 2011 Explorer Limited
2011 Ford Explorer limited. 100k miles. Bought less than a month ago. So my struts where shot. Had them replaced at the ford dealership. Drove off the lot fine. No noise. Within that night I noticed a noise when I turned. Like a creaking noise when I turn. Loudest at low speeds. Or at least that’s when I hear it most.
Took it to the dealer today to see what was up with it and was told that they called the manufacturer and they said it’s normal to make a noise for up to 300 miles on new struts as they expanded and get loosened up. I’ve never heard of this and was wondering if anyone else has heard of it or have had this problem.
