Well i was under the hood today and noticed that the pipe that you fill the a/c under the hood was loose side to sidealso noticed that the pipe has a rubber hose on it to stop it from hitting the strut tower. Then i noticed that there is a clip or somthing at the split in the pipe about half way down the pipe. I pushed the pipe to the sideand let the rubber hose banginto thestrut tower.Noticed that a clip was hitting the strut tower. I notice that the clip spins on the pipe it is a weired shape and very looseand could come it contact with the strut tower, sounded like a cluncking noise from under the hood. Mabe this is the cluncking noise we are hearing. Ispuntheclipfor the widest gap to strut towerand went for a short ride, No Bumpsbut didn't hear the cluncking noise. I will let you know how it turns out.

Here's the latest poop. The regional service engineering rep did indeed drive my wounded GT. He confirmed that there is a problem with the strut tower. The mounting hardware is defunct. Wow, finally, someone at Ford admitted it. The Svc manager was close to being livid that they wouldn't admit it earlier. He has already done 2 strut, 1 mount, and a cross brace install.The regional engineer (Seattle /NW) said there is a TSB which will be released by end of June which replaces the mounting hardware for a shock muffle bs bs bs. Basically, the strut mout is bad as we have said all along. I can confirm that the upper mount is crap. When it was replaced last month, the clunk became worse.

So I advise all you clunkers get off your bitchen butts and go to your dealers and demand that you get on the wait list cue for the replacement parts. I'm first on the list for Seattle.

Hey Everyone, Getting your car down to the dealer and take the service folksfor a test drive to show the noise, now your in the computer andyour "documented" for the fix (TSB). It's nice to hear one dealer mentions something about it but it's probably from personal experience. That's why the other guys dealer, including mine have no info whatsoever about a TSB. Again why this is so frustrating. Ford is more concerned about putting the fix on brand new cars than fixing the ones they already sold. It's still a crap shoot if the fix comes. Remember it was to come in March, then beginning of April, then May now end of June. Who knows? As I've said they've known about this problem since the 05 came out, why didn't a TSB come out 2 years ago? Sorry to sound so negitive but I've been listening to this thunking for almost 9 months now and I've had it. Dumped in hundreds of dollars into chassic strengthening and still have the noise. Well I wrote a letter to Bill Ford last week and I'm waiting for an answer write now, hopefully he's an honest guy and will give me honest answers about this problem. Are they going to fix it? Is so when?

Jay, I agree with your crapshoot comment. I'll be very surprised if the TSB comes out by end of June.
Frankly, I'll be surprised if it comes outat all. We may be screwed. Ford already has our money.

Edit:
Jay, I wrote to Bill Ford as well. Again, I never expect him to respond and I doubt the letter will land on his desk. Probably whatshername will read it and file it.

Ya RLS, That's what I'm afraid of. She might just shread it for all we know. Or will just get the "under investagation" response. And it's true that they already have our money, so why spend millions fixing our cars. With them closing plants and laying off workers, I doubt if there doing it to fix our cars. If it was only concidered a safety issue, but since it's just a noise issue the dice in the crap game is against us. I hope we get a real response from Bill Ford. Either tell us "Yes their going to fix our cars on June xx" or "sorry we decided not to." Then we can go on our way to fixing it ourselves and if people want, take legal action. I believe somewhere in the warrenty book it said something like "rattles, sqeaks, noise issues are not covered under warrenty." I read it 8 months ago so I don't remember the exact wording. Oh and if our letters will "really" end up on Bill Fords desk, I doubt it, but I felt it was worth the try. At least we tried, all the way to the top.
Down the road when people asked what we did about it, at least "we" won't be saying "I didn't write to anyone and complain."
