For the dudes who have have this problem, does it sound something like this? Click the picture......
For the most part, it only does it when the car has been driven for awhile, and it is only the drivers side that makes the noise. The passenger side is quiet.
I have hesitated taking it to my dealer since I am running Roush springs/Koni STR.Ts/GT500 Strut mounts. I just know they are going to blame that for the noise.

Took my car in on Tuesday morning for the 5K oil service and I mentioned the issue I've been having with noises coming from the front end over speed bumps and driveways. The noise seems to occur only when the car is hot and it also warm/hot outside. My service advisor said that they would take a look.
Received a call from my service advisor on Tuesday afternoon and she told me that the lower control arms would need to be replaced. Today is Wednesday and just got the call that my car ready. Hopfully this repair will stop the noises.

. Next day I go over a few bumps and everything seems fine
but after a while of driving I go over more bumps and I hear the same noise
.I had an 05 mustang and never heard anything like this plus a taurus with 300k miles in it and speed bumps went super smooth on this one.

This is what I hear when going over bumps but louder. This didn't happen for the first 2 or 3 weeks and has never happened on any other Ford car I had.
Driver Side minimal sound I guess it should be normal.
Passenger Side gets worse when going over bumps.

Bottoming out as well.
I am taking mine to the shop this Monday on this issue. The car is fine on a flat & normal road but drive it over a bump, small pothole, speedbump, etc...the car sounds like its bottoming out. I will print out this article when I take it in.
This is another visit to the shop for this car.
First issue(s) were issues from the fuel filler neck and now this.
Just hit 4,000 miles & seems like I won't make it to 36,000 without multiple trips to the shop.
