Jays Mustang

Hi, Was just at the dealer and the Tech. Rep. finally returned the call after 2 weeks to inform that Ford is not, Repeat, IS NOT coming out with a fix for the Thunking Noise in our front end suspension. My service manager explained how there was many these forums complaining about this issue, and the techrep only said I'll let Ford know. The techrep told her to tell me "It's a normal characteristic of the car". In my opinion this is unacceptable. I sent out a complaint letter to Ford Board of Directors this morning 2/23/07. I'll let you guys/girls know what response I get.

I don't have a thunk, and I hope I don't get one. (I think)

It's on small bumps/deviations in road under 35mph. Hit a frost heave or pothole and you think something is going to fall apart. You guys that live on smooth roads, concider yourself lucky. Or go find a bumpy backroad to hear it yourselves.

do you know of anyone who has changed the springs and/or struts on their carand still hasthe "thunk"?

just trying to isolate what it could be...

I get it while turning left going over a speed bump at slowly. I hear that with some aftermarket suspention parts it removes this noise.

Roush, Saleen, Shelby cars and or cars with parts do not have this noise from what I read.
Including the Shelby Hertz GT-H, I rented one last month.

My 07 has had a front end clunk and rear end clunk over small bumps since day 1, not really a clunk but more of a low thud?? VERY ANNOYING!!

my77stang

me too but i figured it was the nature of the beast.... would be nice if it wouldnt though. i like how they say the boss will have less sound deadening.... thats a laugh

Arwing

yes, but we shouldn't have to spend up to $2,000 to fix something when we payed almost $30,000

The driveshaft causes a lot of clunking.

My road is as rough as they come (dirt) and I can't hear any clunking from the front, all the rattles coming from the rear must drown it out. Lots of stuff makes noise in the rear, including the springs, bumper cover, impact bumpers under the bumper cover, the spare tire cover, plastic trunk latch cover, etc. I could spend a week tightening up all the things that shake in the back of this car, believe me I have.

You guys should consider yourselves lucky to have the luxury of driving on pavement.
