Default steering recall?

I checked the recall/tsb section, but i didnt see anything. but a friend of mine that works at a ford dealorship in town in the parts dept. told me of a recall on the steering. When i turn my wheel it makes a squeek/creek noise...like a bad floor board in an old house or something. He says there was a recall and to get it fixed. I havnt had time to get it down to the dealorship and i hate calling them cause they are idiots....anyone know?

Yes there is a TSB out on a front suspension poping noise while turing right or left on some 2005 Mustangs built before 4/28/05. Have your friend look up TSB # 05-9-11. I think that is the one he is talking about.

Found another TSB for that. Have your friend look up TSB 05-14-3. It is for 02-04 mustangs with a squeak or creak noise when turning. But it talks about replacing brackets, not a spring in the steering wheel. Have him try that and see what he says.
