Hey guys the creeking noise i get only happens when i accelerate or brake and i took it to my mechanic and he recons its the engine mounts could this be possible? Also ive noticed that when i am parking somtimes the car shudders dont know what that is either could i possibly need to check the timing?

I has the exact same thing in mine when i first got it... if u accelerate it only does it once... then when u brake as u start to slow it does it again?

Like a ball rolling in a tube?


It was some linkages or something in the front suspension... cost about $100 or something for him to fix it.

I am having a similar problem when coming to a complete stop, or as soon as I let my foot off the brake, but it is more of a 'rubbing' sound with a bit of a creaking & there is a shudder. It started happening just after I replaced the brake pads, I am guessing because I didn't bother with machining the discs...

I have been told to take off my brake pads again & lightly rub them on some concrete to roughen them up a bit & then put them back on... just haven't had time / been bothered to do it yet, hasn't been such a major deal (It is kinda embarrassing when I rock up to the lights and my car is making these nasty noises though)

Engine mounts will definitely make that noise if they have had it. Had one go on mine last year. You can generally tell with 2 people by having one stand on the brake while tapping the accellerator and the other watching the engine for movement. The engine should not move much, but if a broken mount, the torque will cause it to lift. On mine, one of the rear mounts let go and when you gave the accellerator a sharp tap, the back of the engine would lift about an inch.

lol think its the engine mounts according to the mechanic somone stuck some rubber hose under it or somshit and i need new engine mounts but he is having trouble finding the part cause the mistubishi dealer here is sh*t

If you get desperate, I have some (havent had a close look at them though). I got mine reconditioned by UAS. Dont know if they still do it anymore though
