I'm not to that point yet lol, I still like my car a lot and the noise is not too loud and I hope it doesn't get any louder. No one can notice it since it's pretty quiet but I have seen other people post that their car got louder and louder as time went by hopefully mine doesn't do the same.

18k here and I have the BBQ Ignitor tick and a 2nd set of bad front ctrl arms. The tick sounds like it's coming from below around the passenger side wheel well, exactly like this video below and it increases in timing with throttle application; meaning you push the gas and it ticks more. So no one knows what causes this particular tick? Sounds almost like a bad header that ticks.

My tick started a couple of months back and has subsided greatly since that time. If other folks threads are any indication, it may come back when I change the oil again. Bur for now its much less noticeable. Took it both to the dealer and to JJ at woodbine. I wasn't crazy about the explanation the dealer gave, but JJ told me that generally when something on the motor is failing it gets progressively louder and not quieter, assuming everything else is running well, which in my case it is. (sorry if I'm misquoting you JJ, feel free to correct me).

Anyway, JJ has me more at ease for the time being, and I'll likely take it back to him first if I have any more concerns.

I guess for my own experience it, I felt more comfortable taking it to a shop that specializes in mustangs than to the dealer, who initially denied hearing anything at all.
