Default New Writer - Tech Questions

First time writer.
2007 GT,Alloy Metallic, end of model clearance. Got a good deal. With rebate, swap, free automatic and X-plan,$5,200 off sticker, couldn't turn it down. Have had it about 10 days. A few tech questions if anyone can answer.
1. Slight noise from rightfront suspension when going over bumps. Sounds louder than the other 3 wheels.
2. After engine isshut off there is sometimes a carryover winding down sound for 4 or 5 seconds.
3. Slight whining noise at slow speed when going down a steep hill.
Nice being here.

First off, Welcome to the Forum. You came to the right place to learn all there is to know about theS197. RE: #1. If the front end don't clunk, bring it back to Ford and they'll give you one that does. Just kidding, Enjoy the Forum.

If it is a clunking noise or rattling ask the dealer if there is a TSB on the front end suspension. Many thread/posts on this one....try a search. The other two seem like there is no problems. If the whine gets louder or worse have the dealer check the differential and make sure the gear is aligned properly.Most say the rear diff should not whine at all and few say that a little whine is acceptable.
