Probably your strut mounts. It's recommended to upgrade to Shelby style when you modify suspension.

With only 30k miles on the OD on stock suspension I have a clunk sound on the driver's front side. I didn't bother to take it to FORD because almost everything seems to be normal or known issue but no fix.

I pulled the driver's strut & found a broken strut mount. After abit of searching it sounds like these strut mounts have a short life span. I have some Steeda strut mounts ordered & should have them in this Wed.

are your sway bar links tight? thats an easy place to start

val916

Yeah those are tight it was the first thing I checked

I'm sure if you checked your sway links, you also checked the upper strut mount bolts?

val916

Yep checked everything had a friend also check everything just so I could get a second pair of eyes on it to make sure everything is tight

Is the bolt on the strut itself tightend down all the way? Is not that will make noise.

val916

Yeah that is tight I put my impact on it to make sure

Here are the known problem areas for ALL mustangs 05+ for the front suspension.

* Upper Strut Mounts - thunk or clunk over speed bumps
* Stabilizer end links - not being tightened fully or loosening or worn out, thunk or metal to metal thud sound
* Sway bar bushings - just plain worn out, this will make a sound like logs rolling as you go over bumps
* Control Arms - cracks in the bushings will make the car groan/squeak over speed bumps as you drop off the back side of a bump. You may also get deflection on wide sweeping turns that makes the wheel bounce like it's out of balance. If it's the Ball joints, the steering will be little loosey-goosey.
