Hi everyone. I am new here and this is my first post:

I have the same problem with creaking in the rear section of the car. Everytime I go over a small bump in the road I hear it.

I own a 1999 Ford Contour SE 2.0 DOHC with 68,000 miles. Previously owned a 1998 Ford Contour SE 2.0 DOHC.

I hope you I can get some help because no one else seems to be able to help me. The Dealer can't even help me with this issue:

My 1999 Ford drives very-very hard/rough. Many of my passengers comment that it rides stiffer than my previous 1998 Ford. I noticed this and am exhausted of tht stiff ride - as bad or worse than some pick-up trucks!

Could you please-please-please offer any suggestions? Are there any different kinds suspension or struts to soften the ride?

Also, can you suggest what kind of spark plugs and wires I should consider to increase gas mileage? Or anything ot suggestion for this matter?

Thanks
