What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[NoVaGT]

So..... my car has been making this clicking noise on low speeds and when turning the wheel. So I took it to my mechanic yesterday and he drove it, inspected underneath for a good while and didn't find where it's coming from. During this inspection, he also found that two of my wheels are bent from the inside which I will need to get them fixed soon. Yay for me right? I'm just gonna search for new tires and wheels instead of paying $120 for each wheel to get fixed. He's supposed to lift the car again and see which ones are bad or need fixing video is below... that noise though, not sure what it is really. I thought it was all in my head but my mechanic heard it too. First video below is the tire/wheel and second one is that noise which they can't figure out. Sorry for the angle of the camera I had the camera next to the tire while driving.

Too add more amusement to this for you over there: as I half expected, the service writer (?) warned me about my non-standard drain plug when I turned up for the appointed oil change yesterday. Said if there is a warranty issue, they will (of course) have to make a report to Ford, and Ford will maybe also ask for pictures. When they see the oil drain plug, they might just say "owner modified the car" and refuse to do anything more.
Again recommended to me I keep everything stock as much as possible until warranty runs out, especially since he could see (from the tires I guess) that I was not exactly "driving miss daisy", and he did not want me to have an issue if something happened. Said it would be up to Ford HQ to approve anything, not him.

Said things here in Europe are not at all as in the USA. I change any tiny little thing here, I will have problems.

I see you are in Spain ... but just wanted to say that here in the USA a car company can not take away the entire car warranty just because a non-factory part is installed. This is due to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act established in 1975.

However, if the car manufacture can prove that a non OEM part failed and caused something else to fail and get damaged, then they could deny the warranty to fix that problem. Example: If an non-OEM oil filter was used, and the filter failed and caused the engine to blow-up, and if the car maker could prove the failed filter cause the engine to blow, then the car maker would deny the warranty to fix the engine. They would tell you to go make the filter maker pay for the engine repairs.

But here in the USA, if somone puts on an aftermarket oil drain plug, it would be against the law if Ford denied any warranty on the vehicle not directly related to any kind of oil plug issue. In other words, if the rear tail light failed, Ford could not deny warranty on the tail light if they say the car had an aftermarket drain plug installed.

Yeah, that's perfectly logical, though it sucks one would need an act/law to establish it. Here it's only 10 years since you became allowed to have someone but the official dealer change your oil if you wanted to keep your warranty.

I hope I will not be the one responsible for the creation of the Ford-Michael_vroomvroom act some day in the future.

Picked her up from the tint shop who also put my stripes on. Now I need to replace the chrome badges with red and I will have just the right amount of color.

Swapped chrome badges to red… all except the front Pony. Can’t figure out how to get to it. Video I watched removed the one plastic trim panel the hood prop clips in to. Then he reached down behind the grill. Did they add more plastic to the MY21? I can’t reach down there to get it.

That's pretty retarded on their part.
What they do, leave your car there, try in the 4th hour, all hour and finally said,.....no we can't seem to do the flash today??

Did you remove the plastic cover above the radiator?

why does your ecoboost stuff look different. the intake box has ridges, and your radiator cover, it has ford perf in the front.
