Suspension Noise problems of the 2010 Ford Mustang

In December 2018 my car began to make crunching, squeaking and chirping sounds coming from the front suspension when driving slowly over uneven surfaces, small cracks in road, going slowly over speed bumps or up driveway ramps. There is also a noticeable shimmy in the steering wheel at over 30 mph. In January, my Ford service advisor told me I need to replace both front control arm assemblies for approx $1,700 which comes as a huge shock to me considering my car has only 14,000 miles on it!!! I went home to do some research found a TSB for the replacement of the front lower control arms with a re-designed control arm with upgraded ball point shaft and hydro-bushing. TSB# 09-24-16 link: https://latemodel. Cachefly. Net/downloads/tsb05-14/tsb09-24-16. Pdf there are literally thousands of complaints on websites and blogs across the internet written by other Mustang owners who have faced the same problem and had to find less costly and possibly dangerous aftermarket solutions. Apparently Ford has known about this defect since 12/2009, has engineered upgraded replacement parts and yet has not moved to proactively replace these dangerous suspension/steering parts since then. Apparently, they are waiting until a customer comes in with a complaint to notify them! a driver could reasonably think this offending sound is just a natural squeak on an aging car and choose to ignore it until the thin original ball joint shaft gives way causing an accident or even a fatality. I've already spoken with Ford customer service supervisors and the Ford dealer who both say there's nothing they can do about having Ford fix this without putting the full cost and burden on the customer. This is a terrific opportunity for NHTSA to compel Ford to get these dangerous parts off the many cars still operating with these admittedly substandard parts. Thank you.

Was getting noise while driving. Sam pack Ford of lewisville found that the lower control arms on the front suspension had failed.
