Is it safe to drive. I called and have an apt. with service, but can I still drive it for now?

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? :scratch:

I have it on my car, though not always (maybe one in 10 times). I took it in, but they could not reproduce the problem. I've seen it referred to as a "noisy front end" problem. There is still no TSB about it.

That's the upper strut bearing mounts. Ford seems to be aware of the problem, and will fix it for you.

It's not a real safety issue (I don't think)

My Mustang (02) had the same problem but thats after 2-3 years of ownership! It won't affect driveability.
