I just bought a 2013 Mustang GT with 24,000 miles on it. When turning either direction, I get a loud noise. It hard to describe, its not quite a grinding noise, but it is very noticeable. Anyone run across this or have any recommendations of where I should start looking for the issue?

Really need more detail or a recording from you - hard to diagnose with such a vague description.

Video is attached, kind of hard to hear.

You're saying my post with no description of the noise and no video can't be diagnosed lol?

Have you checked out your VIN for wrecks and Lemon Law buy back, things like that?

Ha. So that kind of creaking sound is what you're hearing? That's a weird one.

Glenn

wheel bearing?

Sounds like front suspension.

I just bought the car and the place I bought it from has brought it to the shop to fix a small dent. Once I get it back, I am going to bring it in to the dealership and check on the warranty and what it will fix. I believe Ford warranty is 36 months/60,000 miles. The car has less than 25,000 miles on it.

Bumper to bumper warranty is 3 years/36,000 miles. Powertrain is 5 years/60,000 miles. Unfortunately, if your car is a 2013, you're out of warranty unless it was bought late in 2013.

Yeah from inside the car it sounds almost like rubber bushings creaking

I brought the car into a shop today. They told me that the noise is caused by the strut being to long for the lowering springs. I've never heard of this before. When I put lowering springs on my Camaro I did not get any noises. They also noticed a bolt was loose and tightened that up. Most of the noise went away after that. I don't know what brand springs are on the car, but I can tell it has been lowered though. The springs are blue.

David Young

Never heard of that too. Might be your strut mounts. SR performance, Steeda, Eibach and Ford Performance are blue springs, maybe more out there

Roush springs are blue as well. Though mine are labled too.

You might be able to find something stamped on the spring that could offer some clues like this on my Steeda springs
