Default strange noise

Hello,
I'm from Spain, and I have a Saleen 281 S/C 2006 mustang.
I want to ask you about a noise.
In Spain there are not mustangs, if you want a mustang you must to import it.
So, when I drive slowly and I turn, I can listen a noise, (I think in the back).
I think it is not transmision or suspension, but I don't know what it is.
The noise is like grace and It appear few minutes after to begin driving.
Could someone help me?
Thank you

Sounds like the TSB that's out about the clutch packs.

which would be impossible to fix under warranty unless you have a ford dealer near by

Maybe he can get it fixed by another dealer and send ford the bill if they will accept that?

Used to do that at a shop I worked at, charge other companies warranty work we do and get other shops to charge us for warranty work they do. Ask the dealer you got it from if you did.

I would try adding friction modifier first. The noise went away for me. A lot of other people used it as well........It's been well over a year and the noise hasn't come back yet.

The clutch packs they use for the TSB are weaker than the ones installed in the factory. You might end up with a new problem if the clutch packs are replaced under warranty. It's worth the $5.00 just to save the hassle. I used the Ford Racing friction modifier.
