Picked it up yesterday and the dealer did the TSB only thing is I still hear the noise from the passenger side. Overall it's better but still makes the noise on large bumps. I just started a 12 day stretch at work and won't have time to bring it in till mid month... When I get a chance I'll update and see if I can scan a copy of the invoice in for anyone who needs to see the notes...

Hysteric:
Yes, you should bring it in, I was surprised at how much of the noise I had just gotten used to and was dismissing, now with the noise gone on the highway it sounds like a new car should.

Just to update...
I brought my '13 GT back in and now they are replacing the two front struts and mounting assembly. Parts aren't in so I'll have to wait till Monday or Tuesday. Wish me luck...

I have 2013 GT/CS Conv for a year now. The car started to develop the clunk going over speed bumps. Took it to Ford and they performed the TSB and replaced many front suspension parts. Fixed the clunk, but then it sounded like 1970 mercury while turning in parking lots or tight slow turns. Very loud squeaks coming from front right.

Took it back to Ford they looked at it for two days and called and told me that after talking to Ford they couldn't fix it and since it wasn't safety related, it was as good as they could get it.

I was quite annoyed and returned again and the tech and I were messing with the front end and as weird as it sounds, pushing on the front nose clip where it touches the head light and front right quarter panel it would make the noise. Seems like when they fixed the suspension TSB they put the front nose clip on with a smaller gap on the passenger side compared to the driver side. I fixed the problem by removing front nose clip and putting it back on with an even gap on both sides and no more squeaky parking lots.

Thanks and hopefully this will be helpful to someone.
