I don't know what the problem is but when ever the front of the car goes either up or down there's this loud creaking. It cant be the brakes because I can push the front end down when its parked in the driveway and it still does it. It's a 2011 ford fusion and my dad has replaced the struts and that didn't help. Any insight?

If i'm not being clear i'm sorry I dont know anything about cars.

Dont listen to him hes lying. I have a 2010 Ford Fusion and i would say check your axles one may be bent also your frame may be bent or cracked. If its any of these DO NOT DRIVE IT! If its the frame, its totaled.

It drives perfectly fine it just makes that noise and I want a way to fix it because it drives me nuts. The car is also in great condition there's no body damage or anything.

I had it in my car for a while, I greased the chassis and it went away. If you don't re-grease it somewhat regularly It wears away the parts and makes it squeak.

Does it sound like a spaceship while driving? If so check your alternator.

It's possibly just the suspension. Suspension in general takes a lot of time to get worn in. Could be bushings not greased enough, etc.

It's a newer vehicle so nuts may have backed off a little bit (Every new vehicle does this) causing a metal rubbing sound. I would go around and soak every nut in penetrating oil and see if that at least quiets the sound. If it does take it to a local ford service station and ask them to re-torque your suspension.
