i was talking to a buddy of mine today and he told me his rear end was thunking. mine is too, but i thought it was just me. then he told me what the problem was and that ford is fixing it for free. i forgot what he told me the problem was, but i want to get it fixed asap since im getting gears real soon. can someone tell me what it is so i can go to ford tomorrow? thanks!!

 

ttt- please help. thanks

 

I'm unaware of a "thunk" problem in the rear that is a factory issue. What mods have you done in the rear of the car? It's possible you could have a loose suspension component or a bushing failure.

btw - ...........if you jack up the car to look at things use JACKSTANDS

 

if you have an aftermarket axle-back or any aftermarket exhaust it could very well be the mid-pipe hitting the axle because the hangers are longer than stock and it lets the exhaust move a bit more...if its stock, it could be alot of different things.

 

lol, thanks rodeo! you know me!

no suspension mods.

8cd, i heard that there is an issue with the diff, i just spoke to my friend again. he said ford has a fix for it and it is free. i do have an axleback, mbrp. im sure no one would know if its them since no one has the mbrps. i did have the car on a lift tho, the axleback seemed real tight. who knows. ill call ford tomorrow and report back here.

thanks guys!

 

Very common, both my 06 and 07 Stangs thunk and thunked from the rear suspension!

 

I believe its the "clutch pack".(?)

 

I took mine in to the Ford dealer right after I got it from CarMax (17k miles) and before the supercharger went on. They had a guy (who also had a Mustang GT) drive it around. He said that his clunked even more and that this was "normal" for these cars. Personally I think it is a bunch of crap. I can get it to not clunk, but I have to really think about the clutch/gas a LOT. My 2001 was not this way at all.

 

thanks man, i know what to mention now. im bringing it in tomorrow for that, and a couple other things.

 

Hey lldsandsll i to have this problem and my mustang is currently at the dealer. They say its normal did you find out if they have a fix for it????
