I got it back last night....I don't know exactly what they did.....they're gonna fax me copies of the paperwork (work orders, etc) on Monday. Thanks for all the help guys! I'm still a noob to this **** (coming from a 1990 Civic lol).

If you don't mind, let me know what they did so I can try the same thing in the hope that it will get rid of my squeak as well. Thanks man.

Tonk

Haha, will do. I know the last thing they said they were fixing/replacing was the wheel bearing....which I would think would shake or something if it was bad, not squeak.....but I don't know.

Mine did the same thing about a month ago, ended up getting both rear pads and rotors replaced. When I got the car back they was so squeal whatsoever. I've been in a truck in need of new wheel bearings and it was a different feeling. It sounded like the wheels were gonna fall off, instead of just a squeal.

So my car still has the problem. I took it to my dealership's shop on Saturday, and one of the mechanics rode in the trunk while another drove it. The guy in the trunk said he thought the sound was coming from above his head, indicating it would be something with the spoiler. The whole dealership lost power on Saturday so they couldn't really work on it.

I took it in this morning because a mechanic who is a "Mustang specialist" was going to be in today. 5 hours later, he told me he couldn't hear the squeak. I told him that is BS because I have heard it every day for the last 3 months. He said the brakes are fine, so that shouldn't be a problem. When I took my keys back I shook the spoiler to see if I could make a squeak, and also pushed down on my car to see if it might be the shocks but I couldn't get anything to make the sound.

Anyone think it might be something to do with the rear differential? The sound seems to be less consistent than it used to be, but it's definitely still there and very noticable.

So they found out today that I have a bent rear axle. AWESOME! >:\

Didn't you say they would fix it as part of the deal when you bought it ?

Tonk

Yeah, I have a We Owe slip from them. But they're refusing to deal with it now. So I can

A. Throw a fit in the showroom, and probably get nowhere
B. Get the work done through my own dealership and just eat the cost
C. Call my extended warranty company, see if it's covered under warranty, pay the deductible and get it fixed through my dealership
D. Call my lawyer, sue the dealership I bought my car from, which will cost $500 for the lawyer....so I don't know if it's worth it.


As of right now I'm probably gonna go with B.
