Hi...little issue with my wifes '97 escort. When pulling away the offside wheel makes a creaking noise. Also, when driving over uneven surfaces, the wheel rattles and makes knocking noises.
Any ideas what this could be and what to do to fix.
Don't forget the other possibility..escorts of that age ...front springs break with monotonous regularity, feel for the spring & run ure hand up around it to make sure.
