dup1 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Please help my front suspension makes a terrible creaking noise after 30 min of trail riding! but not on smooth surface! if i pick the bike up and turn the handlebar its quite! if put wait on it creaks if i push down slightly it creaks lbs dont know took it out and sent it to fox (fox 32 ctd 120) but they made me feel like an idiot because it does not make that creaking noise once it has cooled down!
Rocket-Boy Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Im sure Droo will be around to comment, he knows all.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 It might be that the stanchions are loose in the crown. I've heard that there was a batch of fox forks that were affected. Only fix is a new set of uppers.

droo Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Could be a number of things. If it's only happening when it's hot, chances are it's a damper issue. If it was stanchions it would creak when you hold the front brake and rock the bike back and forth.

Take your front wheel out. Put each hand on a lower leg and squeeze your hands towards each other. If you hear that creaking noise, most probably the stanchions in the crown. If your fork is still under warranty, send it to Fox, they will replace the stanchions. The stanchions are pressed into the crown and there is not much they can do but replace them. These are not like the much older stanchions that threaded into the crown. I have sent in a couple and had them replaced.

It is still under warranty and they should be able to sort it out. Remember to include your proof of purchase.
