I couldnt hear anything? suggset having someone steer it with the hood open while you listen outside, could be a balljoint/tierod/strut mount...if the noise inside, theres a 'clockspring' under the wheel that holds the airbag wiring, and probably a slipring for the horn...not sure on the slipring, but my wheel has a slight squeak that I always assumed was the horn contact on a slipring...my mercury does the same thing- but its very quiet on both cars...

Yes, you can't really hear it outside the vehicle, it's loud inside though..but like loud enough to go over my ambient music..

Can't really tell from the video.

Is the fluid around the hose fitting close to the pump? That could be oil from the oil filter after an oil change.

Is the fluid low?

If the fluid is dark, (it's normally a dark red) - almost black - there is garbage in the pump.

Was this issue ever fixed? I am now having it as well but I only have 23k miles on mine. This happened the day I took it home from the dealership

Did you ever figure this out? I have a 2008 GT 5 speed and it makes the exact same noise I heard in the video. Low speeds turning in a parking lot or into my driveway.

If the noise your describing has a popping like sound to it? chances are it's your upper strut mounts. Ford replaced mine under warranty. There's also a Ford TSB that recommends replacing the originals with the updated/revised versions which fixed the noise issues. At any rate, you may want to consider having your upper strut mounts replaced, if you haven't already done so

It isn't really popping but more of a rubbing/grinding type sound. If you watch the YouTube video at 14 seconds you can hear it. It sounds exactly like that and seem to do it more after I've driven for a while. If I am driving with the car "cold" I don't seem to notice it as much.

Anybody figure this out yet? I'm having the exact same issue in my 2011 GT when turning sharp left at low speeds. To be clear, it is NOT a "popping" sound. Its a rubbing or grinding sound like the op posted in his youtube video. (Its difficult to hear in the video, but its around the 14 sec mark.)

Some have asked if it may be the ball bearing/joint, but I was under the impression that a worn joint/bearing would lead to noises at all times and not just when turning left at slow speeds. (At least that's what I experienced when I had to replace the bearings in my 05 GT.)

Thanks everyone!

It was the clutch packs in rear differential. Replaced those and it took care of the issue.

Draekus

Thank you, Sir! I will look into this now. (Its so weird though. It's the exact sound from the video posted above, but the sound clearly comes from the front left of the car and only when turning sharp left.)

I’ve also heard that changing the diff fluid and adding the correct amount of friction modifier could do it. Or just adding more friction modifier. Don’t quote me on that though.

Draekus

Got it. I'll check the fluids first. Thanks, again.

Hello, please see if you have solved the problem. I have the same problem. Thank you

Have you checked your front stabilizer bar end links? It might be your front/left stabilizer bar end link bushing that is worn out!

you might want to start a new thread for this, with a clear description of your problem, and a video with sound if possible

and, welcome to the forum
