Default recently purchased used 2010 gt500 making clunking sound

i just recently purchased a used 2010 gt500, i noticed when turning slowly front right end would make a clunking/groaning ? sound, i made the dealership aware of this noise and they said they would fix it.

now the said it was a power steering pump that needed replacement (which they did) i recieved the car without the noise but after 30 mins or so of driving the sound came back

and idea what it could be ?
attached is a video of what my car exactly sounds like.


sound is only heard on the front passenger side.

I would check the wheel bearings for excessive play. Has there been any suspension work done on the car? Check the Torque all the end links. Even if they are slightly off it will a
Make a noise similar to that.

Do a search for front end clunk while turning wheels. I have read about it many times over the years. Most likely it's your end links.

Hello lobotamizer,

Welcome to the forum! My name is Deysha with Ford Service. I recommend bringing it in to your Ford Dealer and speaking to your service manager about this concern. He is in the best position to ensure a proper diagnosis, and will be able to provide available options and/or coverage for any work needed.

Also, remember as of 10/13 repairs done at a Ford Dealer come with a 24 months/unlimited miles warranty. Let me know what they say.

Your 2010 used GT500 has turned into a 2003 Cobra?

Default Clutch went out on 08 GT500 only 7700 miles?

Hi new member here! Mileage is correct, as I seldom drive it any more, just a few miles a month to keep engine and tranny working, If memory serves, quite a few years back, there were clutch problems reported with
07-08 GT500 and may have even issued a service bulletin? I know how to drive a manual after 4 Supra's, 2 4 Runners and a Mazda RX7 Turbo I won in a sales contest some time ago,

My questions:

Was their such a problem and what did Ford do to help customer, if anything?

If they did, my chances of getting ANY help after all this time, very low mileage warrant consideration?

Whether Ford will help or not, I will need a new clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing,etc Did Ford make any changes to components and have a new part number? Would prefer an "upgraded "OEM", if available, specific model, part numbers; plus cost of parts and approximate labor, if possible. For resale, would prefer Ford:: but would consider high quality after market suggestions with models parts, labor,etc? car is mostly stock: but to mount real Shelby. Super Snake hood which required open CAI and tune, so it has JLT and tune done by well reputed tuner. MAJOR CONSIDERATION after left hip replacement, left leg doesn't want a
stiff clutch. I baby it and drive like the old man I am, and don't think tach has ever seen 4K, well likely tuner reached it: but don't think I ever have.

If there is a Ford tech that can give insight, or from any of you members, would be greatly appreciated, so thanks in advance!
