Hi, My 07 has had the noise since the first day. Yes it seemed like it started on the right side first but now it's both sides. 5000 miles. Left started around 1200 miles. I live in Ct. which has bumpy roads. You guys with smooth roads are just lucky. I went to Cape Cod a few months back, (smooth roads) and only noticed it a few times over a couple hundred miles. So Ford might not even care about us with bumpy roads. And since it's not a safety issue it may never have a recall. Has anyone tried Bilstein HD struts? Thinking it might be a bad designed strut.

The thunking sound is your brains slapping against your skull for lack of density.

I installed KYB struts to no avail. I've replaced the upper strut bearings, with Ford as no other is available andI've removed the front sway bar completely. Still clunk! With the hood up, rolling over an incline,mymechanic had his hand on the upper strut bearing and strut shaft. He says it's coming from the upper strut bearing.

I know a number of people indicated that they replaced their struts with several different brands, only to find that the problem remained. I think it would be truly amazing if FORD would use IT'S resources to do all this experimentation rather than all of us trying to putter around and drop cash and hours trying to figure this out. Not that Ford necessarily cares. . .

So, Larry, you're saying that all of the stuff can be replaced up there but that in any case the Ford bearings remain? I thought I had a decent handle on the way those parts work and are put together but my ignorance betrays me once more. . . Hell, anybody tried taking the ones fixed in 2005 and putting them in the newer GTs and seeing if that did the trick? Straw grasping again. . .
One more with the same problem on my 07 GT, so granted the problem is real and common to most Mustangs, I think a read only one fix posted by sandy, and I'll really appreciatte hearing more opinions and solutions.
I dint buy nor want a Lexus like ride but certainly didnt expect a Yugo-like suspension noise.

whatever the problem is, it's found in one or the other of these pictures. i don't think it's the strut bearings any more since i replaced my strut mounts with Steeda ones and the problem is still there. i'm assuming that the new strut mounts contain new bearings that replace the old ones with the oem strut mounts.

My car doesnt have the problem. If it did id take it to the dealer and make them fix it. Thats what the warranty is for. No soup for you chuckles.
hell i get it in the front and in the back - as well as at least two dash rattles, door trim pieces loose, rattling mirrors, rattling from underneith, clutch packs have been replaced in the rear end, and when your going really slow and then step on the gas it feels like the tranny is low on fluid. oh yeah and twice the car just would not start.
