Suspension/control arm squeak.... again

So I had to take my Mustang in to the dealer last June to get my control arms replaced under TSB 12-8-24. That fixed the problem.... until now. Was just coming back from lunch when I hit a few bumps in the parking lot surface and heard the squeaks again. Seriously?!?! What do I do? Do I go back to the dealer to get the control arms replaced again? I'm sick of doing that for problem after problem. I should not be having so many problems with what is essentially still a brand new car (my 1992 Miata with 140k miles still has the original control arms up front and they are silent over bumps). And what good will replacing the control arms do if the fix is only good for a few months... or was it just a botched repair by that one dealer?

That's unfortunate to hear. Seems you're plagued by the dread LCA issue many of us have to deal with.

I believe the current fix for it is under TSB 13-7-8.

I have my Mustang GT/CS at the dealer right now, getting the Lower Control Arms replaced. This is my second time. First repair, I only got 40 miles before they started squeaking again.
