Body creaking ?? | The De Tomaso Forums

74lqqkrMember

Are Pantera's know for any body noises/creaking when going up a driveway or parking lot etc. I am noticing, now that I can drive my pantera. That when I go over a change of pavement and the body twists to accomodate the unequal pavement, I can hear some noises like body/frame ?? flexing. Is this common or is something loose somewhere? All things seem tight that I can see.

thanks

Did you put in poly bushings in the sway bar brackets and suspension mounts? Mine creaks more since I put the poly bushings in when driving in the conditions you describe.

No, I've only had it for a few months. I finally got it on the road. I assume from your response pro that SOME creaking is normal.

Yes I also have poly bushing in the suspension, I have to keep them lubed or they will make noise.

Mine does the same. I plan to replace the bushings in a few weeks and hope that corrects it.
