I own a 2007 Mustang gt. It has less than 15 thousand miles on it. It has failed inspection (12/22/11) due to the driver side lower ball joint being worn out. The car is pulling and has a thumping noise. I contacted Ford and they e-mailed me the following information: in the future, when the national highway traffic and safety administration (NHTSA) release a recall/customer satisfaction program on this particular component, you will be eligible for a refund if you already had the repairs completed and if not, you will be able to have the repair free of charge. Keep in mind that the NHTSA is the federal agency who is responsible to review this kind of programs.

Car is a 2007 Ford Mustang gt convertible with 19,500 miles. I have noticed that recently the car no longer tracks properly, and tends to pull to the left or right with unevenness in the pavement. When brought in to dealer for regular service, was informed that both front lower ball joints are loose. I have researched around the web and have found that this appears to be a fairly common problem with these cars. Car is just out of warranty despite its low mileage.
