RE: 2007 Front Suspension Thunking Noise
Jay, that's cool!
Although what you've done is stiffin up the front suspension.
That means less movement and has evidently translated into less to no strut clacking.
How has it changed your ride or the handling in turns?
Suspension stiffining will help quell the problem but the bearings as we all know BLOW CHUNKS and we need them corrected.
Also, when did you come up with the data that the coupe's and 'vert's have different part numbers for the strut assemblies?
That would make sense though as the 'vert weighs more. Requires more damping in that case. Same case with the GT's and I am sure the Shelby GT's.
What I meant back then was, actually what Howard was told by the Mustang guys is the assemblies are the same where the front suspension goes.
Perhaps, and I mean perhaps the 'vert's have better struts and better strut mounts. I doubt the strut mounts are any better since we know that the Shelby GT strut mounts BLOW CHUNKS too.
Anyway, just got off the phone with Ford cust service. Spent about 30 mins. on the phone with the guy. His name is Chris.
Talked about the issue in great detail. He said he see's my car has been in on the same thunking issue twice so far. Without wasting time telling you guys all about what was said, the bottom line is not at all surprising to me. Just a plain FUGGIN STOP!
"There's nother further we can do sir. I can't tell you if there is a TSB in the works or when it will come out because I don't have access to this information".
Okay, well alright, GOOD! FINE! AHHHHH FUGG-IT!
Okay wolfey, time out, take a chill pill, calm down,,,breath,,,breath,,,relax,,,sigh...... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Cool Jay, so how much did that solid anti-sway bar cost you? What is the part number? Who sells them?
I may give it a try after I install my cross member that I should have back from my machinist by tomorrow evening!
I will of course be reporting the results! Stay tuned!
