Default rc350 f sport

hi everyone, just bought my car.

fully loaded, white and red.

It drives very good but one problem.

I am hearing weird noise ( QQeeek ) whenever i go over bumpy roads, especially when i turn to the left.

Is this something that i need to go in for service ?

If you have the ride control on Sport+ try it on Normal and see it that fixes it. It might be that when in Sport+ and the suspension set at it's firmest it might not be able to handle all the bumps. Now if it does it in all driver select modes than take it in.

Sorry, I didn't properly Welcome you to the forum before. Welcome, and enjoy all that we have to offer. Doing a "Search this thread" will help you find answers in case anyone else had the same question. Sometimes it is a great time saver.

Since it is only doing it when you turn left it is possible that the strut might have an issue as in being loose. When you do these turns are they sharp turns as in pulling into the driveway or a gentle turn? Either way if you can duplicate this all the time then the dealer will be able to find the issue. Make sure you go out with the tech to show them exactly how it is happening otherwise they will say they can't duplicate it.

Good luck with it and let us know what you find out if you take it to the dealer.

whenever you go over bumps and take a turn? could be your upper control arm or something of your suspension requiring some bolts to be tightened. Take it to your dealership, have a technician sit in the car with you and have them witness it. ALSO tell them to do whatever they did on one side to the OTHER side too... emphasize with them or they will literally focus on that one area and be done with it.

thank you all for the kind replies. I will bring it to the dealer. But is this normal to happen from a new car or was this anyway damaged?
