Creaking on acceleration

[curiousurick]

Hey everyone!

move had my Mach E for 2 months, 2k miles and while I haven’t had any of the serious issues described by a lot of people, I have noticed a horrible noise when I tap the gas from stop. Every time I leave the garage, the moment it moves, it creaks. At every stop light. In stop and go traffic. I was thinking it could be from auto hold releasing, but it sounds pretty bad. I also hear it when slowing to a stop on a hill by my house.

Is this normal from the auto hold 1-pedal mode or do I have something wrong with the car?

Edit: here are clips.

The first video I’m in drive, second im in reverse. Normally it’s louder when I hit the pedal but right now it’s way louder when it comes to a stop but you can still hear a little when I hit the pedal.

I heard this the other day when my wife was leaving for work in the morning. Ours has 6,000 miles on it.

Check your front brake rotors. Do you see any brake pad residue on there?

It sounds more like like it's coming from the spring/shock area.

Check the shocks. Do you see any spacers in there?

I’ve checked that before when I heard about the spacer issue but I didn’t see anything. I’ll check again today after work.

If you can, I'd be interested in hearing a recording of this. (not that I can help diagnose, I'm no mechanic)

I added videos to the top post. I also looked under the car and didn’t see any spacers but I can barely fit my head in far enough to see much.
