S197 is the internal model identifier. SN95 was the previous model Mustang. Kinda like the Camaro/Firebird was the F-Body.

Actually they're missing one digit... S197 is supposed to be S-1970, which is the year Ford designed Suspension for 2005+ Mustang! HAH.

I went to our shop and tried some products that we use & did a test area , Looks like new so I will do it my self and tell the dealership over & over why they will not touch my car if it's not warrety work, It was not the Dealerships fault here , but when they farm stuff out because they are too busy and then not even check the work after, kinda bothers me about this Quality Care thing. I'll be ok when I finish & time wears on.

I has an Acura Legend Coupe back in 89 that I bought 1 year old. It had that stuff sprayed 1/8" thick throughout the complete engine compartment from rad support to firewall. It tool me 3 days to get the engine compartment clean.
I put 300,000km on that car and the underside looked brand new.

Just for future reference... Do you mind sharing the dealer's name?
