2014 mustang GT clunking and squeaking

hey guys,

So i just got home from work and noticed that when I rock or turn my steering wheel my makes clunking and squeaking noises.

the road I've taken home does have some harsh bumps and a small pothole I ran over on the way home tonight, not sure if that's cause of why my car is making these noises. what do you guys think it could be?

here's a vid for you guys to check out.

it's a 2014, are you still under bumper-to-bumper warranty?? If so, take it in!

If not, it sounds like something in the steering system is very loose...be it the rack or tie rods. Could possibly be something wrong with the steering wheel linkage. I'd get it up in the air and take a look.

My best friend ultimately sold all of his Fords over a loud noise in the steering of his 2013 GT. The Ford tech thought it was coming from the EPAS system, but the lack of codes meant Ford would not pay to replace the unit. He said if Ford would not take care of him, he would not drive their products and advertise for them.

figured out what the noise was, the lower control arm bolt came loose. I remembered when a buddy helped me install my O/R xpipe he moved my control arm out of the way to get to the catalytic converter bolt and didn't tighten it back up all the way. the Ford tech just tighten the bolt and then the noise and clunking stopped
