Default what is that noise!!!?

Okay this is driving me nuts! I have an 03 Mustang GT with about 35000 miles on it. "Bought it used". Had it for about 3 weeks now and I'm not sure if this noise is do to the COLD weather? Dealers and family mechanics looked at it and they are telling me to stop bothering them, there is nothing wrong! lol. The noise happens in the morning only. The first time I drive the car after if sits all night long. After rolling about 10 ft., I feel and hear this slight clunk/pop underneath the right driver's wheel - but never again throughout the day! Every ball joint, bushing, tie-rod and steering rack parts were checked and even lubed just to shut me up. Springs and shocks were said to be fine as well. The only bulletin out from Ford for this year mustang was for a clunking sound in the driveshaft, which is said to be normal, but frustrating to the owner.The only noise a Ford mechanic told me about is a squeak or slight bang of the bushings, which are polyurethane on the GT's MACH 1 and Cobras. They are stronger but are known for making irritating noises and customers complained.

Anyone else with this damn noise?! Thanks allot-

Yea, my 03 GT does it too. It's been doing it for the two years I've owned it anyway. I looked for mine for a while and said o well. I don't pay it any attention anymore. Mine does it the worst when I first start mine up in the morning and back up with the wheels turned like backing out of a parking hole.

wierd, you know if its a common problem maybe ford should figure out what it is and reecall it. It shouldnt matter wether or not its not a problem, but you have a rather new car with rather new miles on it and for christ sakes u dont want it to sound liek a junker in the morning, poor customer service on fords part.

Hey thanks guys for the quick response. I'm glad there are other vehicles out there doing the same exact thing. But I'm not happy about it still! Wish there was something Ford can do or express some type of fix for it. contentsunderpressuri'm glad you stated about when you back up because that happens to me also!

Thanks for all your input!

My 04 GT makes a clunking sound but mines coming from the passenger rear. I'm not sure what it is though it used 2 drive me crazy when i first got the car but now i don't hardly even notice it.
