Default 2014 GT crunch sound going over speed bumps

I've read the TSB for the 2013 'Stangs for hydro bushings in the front causing the noises. http://cdn.lrsstatic.com/downloads/t...sb12-08-24.pdf

I haven't seen anything for the 2014 but mine has these same symptoms. Has anyone else out there had the same? My car was built in 8/13

Same difference...but I had both front lower control arms on my 2011 Mustang GT replaced under warranty due to the crunchy sounds it made going over speed bumps...new parts made no difference...same noise as I drove over the speedbumps leaving the dealership, so I accepted it as normal...Months later, I had my entire suspension upgraded w/ BC Racing coilovers and Whiteline parts...NO MORE crunchy sounds after the install...which lead me to believe that it may have been a different Ford suspension part and not the front control arms that was making the crunchy sounds.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't think it was a big deal and I really don't want to leave my car with the dealer for a day. I've had bad experiences in the past with that.

I'm headed in that same direction with changing up my suspension. Its going to be some time though, need to save the funds between paying for a wedding .

Hello Buchez09GT,

I recommend you get it checked out at your Ford Dealer as soon as possible. Also, let me get this escalated to the customer service manager for your area if needed. Please, PM me with your VIN, dealer, mileage, full name, and best daytime number.
