FORD: 2002-2004 Mustang

This article supersedes TSB 04-24-8 to update the Action.

ISSUE:

Some 2002-2004 Mustang vehicles may exhibit a squeak or creak type noise when turning.

ACTION:

PART NUMBER | PART NAME
E5DZ-3K620-A | Bracket

__________________________________________________ __________________

Had the "creaking" and "popping" problems solved today using the Ford Fix and my Trusty Mechanic. Total Cost: $98.00. My mechanic thinks they may have over-torqued things from the factory, as the replacement parts are identical to the original.

I had a front end squeek when I turned my Steering Wheel to the left...Solution:

Grease the Tie Rod Ends. Cost? Free. f
