when driving over bumps has got to be addressed. I have printed out threads from 3 diff forums on this. I have an 06 with fans and it didn't do it the firt 2 days i owned it. The tech is fkin full of **** when he told me that the tight suspension is doing it. It's the upper strut mounts....they are defective. I am convinced of it and will dig into their asses on tomorrow.

I will get this fixed and let you guys know. No way will I tolerate it. This is EXACTLY the kind of noise that give american car companies bad names. Cheap fkin noises like this.

Same here with my 06.... isn't the TSB for the 05 only?? I am going to ask when I take it in for two or three more TSBs.... damn, I feel like I am driving my 02 WRX again..

 

you will not get anywhere fast with complaining cause as of right now there is a loud suspension concern over bumps on the 06 only the 05 concern is popping noise on turns. i am a tech at ford which i also own an 06 with the same issue i have also had numerous customers come in for the same concern but there is NO fix as of YET i called the ford hotline and they DO realize and said a tsb WILL be releases but no date as of yet so all we can do is wait.

 

Hope they find a fix quick. I'm beginning to not like driving this car because of this clunking. I'd rather go in my wifes Maxima! I hate to say it but it's a quality car compared to this Mustang. And almost as fast!

 

Any idea why its only on the right side? Do you think its related to the strut top bushing or mount? Strut related?

I don't guess they plan on fixin the defrost/vent issue either? nasty fog light lenses?

My 06 needs: TSB Fuel Pump, TSB Rear End, TSB Exhaust Noise, and the drivetrain sounds like CRAP if you drive it easy...

 

I have a pre april 2005 GT and it was making the clunking noise, Ford fixed it no questions asked under warranty. I can tell you that the noise it was making according to the TSB is different than what you have described. The TSB is for a clicking noise that occurs during cornering, when the strut mounts were fixed the noise was gone.

 

Totally different noise. Our 06's have the isolator that yours did not have from the factory. Mine makes no noise turning, only going slow over bumps.

 

Correct....it makes a sound like the strut is bad or the front is about to fall off..more of a thump

 

I had the poping fixed with the TSB for the 05. But ever since day one I have had that clunking sound which I believe to be the dampning of the strut. The standard answer was "it's a mustang they ride stiff and are gonna make noise". Well to that I say "BS" Has anybody put the Roush front struts on and do they make the same clunk? I just have the Roush Rear Suspention. Let us know.

 

hahaha its funny to see all the same probs and everyone being pissed but its definately annoying i will most likely be doing the tokico d specs and sportlines soon so i will attempt to keep you guys informed if that does the trick. in the mean time hopefully they(ford) fix it asap. if anyone else beats me to the punch of a new suspension and its fixed let us know.
