I have an 06GT and lately when I am pulling into a place I will get a weird noise from the back of the car sometimes. I have heard something on this board about TSB. As for that "Noise" and the TSB.. what kinda noise is it..?
Ive noticed that sometimes when I have been driving and I go to park the car.. when I am slowing down I will get a weird sound from the back of the car.. But I just got new wheels and tires and was wondering if its just the sound of the bigger tires. My stock wheels wer 18x8 or 8.5 and these are 18x10. I cant say whether it is the tires or not tho.. it could easily be something else.

Sometimes the noise is there in the back.. sometimes not.. but it seems to be when I am slowing down coming to a stop.. any ideas on what this may be?

 

I have the same issue I noticed last week. I think there is a Ford TSB out on this..something referring to rear end clutch pack replacement

 

I'll be driving about 500 miles this weekend. Is it safe to drive it and see if the noise is continuing or do I need to take it in ASAP?
Noise is not their all the time.
Thanks

 

If it is the rear differential clutchpack noise, it is annoying but harmless and will not, in and of itself, fail on your drive. I drove mine for months before I got irritated enough to have it fixed.

If it is the clutch pack noise, then at least mine only occurred when the rear diff was waremd up to operating temp, and when I was making slow tight turns (such that the inner rear wheel was turning at a significantly different rate than the outer rear wheel). it sounded like a groaning or a rubbing noise.

a few hours at the dealer and it was fixed.
