well i have an 07 gt coupe and im having these same problems. i got under the car and looked around and the sway bar links( haynes book calls them stablizer bar links) on the driver side is hitting the bottom of the strut. hitting so bad that there is starting to make a groove in the strut. took it to a shop i use(not a ford dealer) and they are telling me the sway bar is loose or moves. so thats getting replaced out of my pocket. i have read most of these threads about changing the upper mounts but how would that help my problem? i work on my car myself most of the time but im not fooling with suspension and all. any information would be greatly appreicated.

I said it before and I'll say it again. I installed tokico D-Spec struts and eibach pro-kits a couple months ago on my '06 GT, and haven't heard the noise since.
I just started getting the popping noise like in the video
when i put Eibach pro kit springs on the OEM struts so i took the front wheel off and used a pry bar to move the suspension up and down and noticed the sound was coming from the top of the strut possiblt the bearings housing.
so i'm wondering if i put the tokico D-Spec struts on the noise will go away?
Are the smaller than the OEM struts?
The eibach springs seem too small for the OEM struts i didnt have to compress them and it only took a few turns to tighten them maybe there is play in the bearing cap because they are not tight enough.

I decided to tighten the center strut bolt all the as much as i could while installed already and that cured the popping noise I only tightened it to the manufacture tourqe stripe as was said in Taco Bills writeup so that was the problem.
Thanks to taco Bill for the great writeup and pictures it really helped alot besides that little problem.
I am very happy with the car now.

Hey I am new to the forum and have the thunk that everybody talks about in this thread. Is it only with the 2007s? I heard it was with all years. Is there a definitive fix?
After reading through the thread, I decided to give it a shot and figure it out myself. So the first nut I tried to tighten was the main nut on the top of the strut. It was pretty loose. I didn't think that was that easy so I took off the wheel and checked all the other suspension nuts. All were tight. So I took it for a ride and thunk is all gone!!!
