Hey oldyeller,I know exactly what you're sayin!
The 05 rental I drove didn't make that racket either come to think of it.
Your rental stang wouldn't have been a convertable would it?
Ford says that the converts' don't make the thunking noise.
I have yet to test drive one myself to find out if that's so but I have driven several other V6 and GT hard tops and they all thunk!
I have a feeling Ford changed suppliers in between runs and ours all have the 'defective' strut bearings.
Probably some Asian company, 'China' or 'Taiwanese' crap they baught into to save money and of course it would just have to be at our expense!
