big problem with my beloved car :(

Hello,
I have a big problem with my car, is broken.
I'll try to tell you what is wrong but it will be diffcult for me to write about it in english but i must find the solution.

It is a problem with rear axle. There is a big backlash/play on the wheels. It is almost impossible to drive. There is also a big rattle/bump when car run into a pothole and when I try to change the direction and then back to previous direction even on flat, smooth road. People from the shop (some of the european make) told me and showed that rear axle is broken, there is very big backlash(don't know how to call it in english) on the bearings. I saw it personally. It is not the rear stabilizer problem. I have called to the shop which specialize in repairing american cars and they told me that I am twelfth 2005 Mustang owner who call them with this problem. (Here in Poland it is maybe 20 Mustangs at all). They informed me that they will contact to american Ford dealer to find the cause and solution. This problem appears after about 30k km distance covered. I have to remark that here in Poland roads are very rough.

Please tell me, do you know something about this kind of defect?

Czesc Dan,
Bardzo milo jest natrafic na rodaka na amerykanskim forum

Jesli chodzi o samochod to problem polega na tym, ze powstal bardzo duzy luz w moscie, ktory objawia sie bardzo glosnym stukaniem, gdy jade nierowna droga oraz gdy np. jade rowna droga i skrecam, a nastepnie spowrotem powracam na poprzedni kierunek jazdy. Tzn dochodzi do stukniecia podczas tzw odprezenia. Typowe objawy luzu. Po umieszczeniu samochodu na podnosniku i szarpnieciu za kolo czuc duzy luz gdzies na lozyskach w moscie, w kazdej plaszczyznie i slychac pukanie. Ma sie wrazenie, ze kolo zaraz spadnie i trzyma sie jedynie dzieki zaciskowi hamulca. Problem wystepuje po obu stronach. Obawiam sie, ze to jakas wada fabryczna, ktora w Polsce objawia sie juz po przejechaniu 30 tys km z uwagi na bardzo nierowne drogi. Kontaktowalem sie z serwisem, ktory naprawia amerykanskie auta i mowia, ze maja epidemie tego problemu wsrod wlascicieli 2005 Mustang. Pewnie w USA tez sie kiedys to zacznie ale biorac pod uwage dobry stan amerykanskich drog po 150 tys km albo pozniej.
Mam nadziej, ze bedziesz w stanie jakos to zdiagnozowac, lub moze slyszales o podobnych objawach wsrod amerykanskich posiadaczy tych aut albo chociaz opiszesz to na forum uzywajac wlasciwej angielszczyzny
Z gory bardzo Ci dziekuje.
PS. Widze, ze jestes z San Francisco - piekne miasto bylem tam kilka dni podczas wakacji. W ogole uwielbiam cali.

Because translator is missing, maybe some of you can help me. I am looking for detailed rear axle chart containing parts names.
Thank you

Stanglex-
Try this link. It has most of the manuals in a .pdf format. there is one their also for your rear. Hope this helps.
Is the clunking sound you hear coming from the front or rear when you hit pothole? If from front, there is a TSB on it.

It sounds like the clutch pack problem. It starts out just during slow turns then gets progressively worse. Check this TSB link:

I've already had it done twice (under warranty). Check out the full TSB thread for other possibilities:

Good luck Mój przyjaciel!
