Honestly? Pretty high. These cars are known for them to last 15-50k or so. New ones will last the same. Order new ones from timkin (best brand possible for bearings of any kind) and be done with it. Same thing with the radiator fans. The passenger side fan bearing fails within 50-100 miles (no effect on performance just makes noise when slowing down/ engine is turned off and the fans slows to a stop)
Good luck... My money is at least partially on those headers. That resonance is a noise I will NEVER forget for the rest of my life
So much so I have swore I will NEVER get headers on this car
I'll have others chime in here who know more than me, but my personal speculation would be that maybe the lowering out an increase of force on the wheel bearing causing issues to show up. Similar to how the driveshaft angle/pinion or whatever it's called and stuff can change with certain mods. Although I had my rear bearings both go bad and only found out after a day of drifting and 150+mph stents when I got home and went for an inspection. Both back wheels had between 1.5-2.5 inches of back and forth wiggle (bearings were completely gone) but when driving down the road there was 0 noise no clunks, pops, bangs, clangs or squeals. They were dead silent which is why I never noticed an issue. (I only had the car for like 2 weeks so I never got around to checking it over thoroughly)
You were most likely right, we are going to move the engine over to allow some more room tomorrow. In neutral and turning the sound was almost non existent.Good luck... My money is at least partially on those headers. That resonance is a noise I will NEVER forget for the rest of my life
Good luck, that was my conclusion as well, mine was significantly louder if I was on the throttle when turning, like I was giving it the beans coming out of a left hand turn.. I am not exactly sure how he did it, but I do know he loosened the mounts on both sides and was able to scoot the whole engine over a bit. Just be careful, you go too far, the steering shaft will rub on the driver side.
Imma have the shop do it for me, only charging me 50 so I'd rather have them do it rather than me on jacks in my driveway lol do you have an IG?Good luck, that was my conclusion as well, mine was significantly louder if I was on the throttle when turning, like I was giving it the beans coming out of a left hand turn..

IG? You mean Instagram? Yes if so... And I agree, jacks and stands suck. Lift was the way to go, and my guy did it under "warranty" since he did the headers a few weeks before.
Not a lot, I do FB more. But I do put stuff up occasionally. I will look you up and follow in a bit
If it’s only when turning left, thoroughly inspect that area. If it’s not rubbing on the outside, maybe it’s rubbing on the Inside?
Is the exhaust hot or cold when you took that photo?
Yes the problem was solved. The header was scraping against the AC. Moved motor over and now have some free work getting done to my car since shop didn't tighten the motor mount. Problem is now solved and I get to have some free work done for the issue
Good deal. I knew it was one of the two
My ac block was really close too.... HUGE Mustang gathering...
