Thanks, Matt. I will look into it. My Ford dealer is usually excellent and courteous.

it does affect the 2011's. I haven't heard any complaints from 2010's but definitely 2011's

Thanks, PJR, but so you know, that TSB has been superseded by TSB 12-8-24 (issued on Aug. 30, 2012 - see http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...11-2013-a.html). The one you found replaces the LCAs with the "A" series control arms, whereas the new TSB replaces with the "C" series control arms. Unfortunately, many of us have had multiple LCA/bushing replacements all the way through the "C" (i.e., latest) series LCAs (as called for by TSB 12-8-24), with no success.

No problem, Pete. I just wanted everyone on here to know what's going on and what updates I received.

Do you have the same problem? If so, I wish you the best because it's not any fun...

As an update, though, my dealership is now telling me that Ford CS reports that the "C" series LCAs are fixing the problem and they want me to bring my car back in to the dealership for a full diagnostic evaluation of the chassis, etc., to see if anything else is causing the problem. I definitely have my doubts. What do you think?
Unless a "D" series comes out I highly doubt this problem is fixable.

Agreed. At this rate, though, I'm not even sure a "Z" series would fix our problem...

Monday, October 8th. When you had the C series LCAs installed, did you have the full TSB 12-8-24 (issued Aug. 31) performed, which would have included redesigned hydro bushings too?

to be honest I don't know. I was just told the TSB was done and the new redesigned control arms were put in, he didn't mention anything about the bushings. Let me know what they do when you take it in oct 8th.

A few faint noises, nothing dramatic, though. Now I'm worried, and I'll listen for it, for sure. Thanks.

it's faint right now because we just got new control arms put in a month ago. Before this installation the noise was at least an 8 out of 10.

Same thing here, we bought 2 2013 GT's have had them for less then a month, and both are clunking like crazy over bumps and when you engage the trans to move forward, we are trying to get the dealership where we are visiting right now to look at them, but for sure, it should be a recall, everyone's having the same issue. Sucks because we are from Texas and are working in Ohio, so i have to get a dealership to understand the problem here.

2012 Mustang GT Squeaking

I just purchased a new 2012 Mustang GT coupe last month (June, 2013, leftover) and I have the same squeaking noise. I was told by a dealer that since I only now have less than 1000 miles on the car, it needs to be broken in more. I sent a complaint to Ford and was told the same thing. Now I still have a 2008 Mustang GT convertible and I traded in a 2010 Mustang GT coupe for the new one and neither had or have the problem. Now I may not be the smartest guy but you can't tell me this is a "break in" issue. I'm taking it to another dealer this coming Friday. It is the same noise that I have read from other users. Going over a speed bump or a bumpy road the noise is very lous. Even the mechanic at the first dealer heard it and figured it was either bushings, sway bar or shocks. I really did not like the response from Ford.
