Cars had a creak in the suspension for a while. I finally had time to take it to the dealer.
Knowing about the issue with the nut on the axle I checked that before taking it in. Both were at least 150 ft/lbs so I assumed that's not the issue.

Well, Ford called an few hours later and informed me the amp wiring in my trunk is making the noise. Mind you the amp wasn't there, so I'm not sure how that's possible.... I just the disconnected wires. I told them I'd remove the wiring and take it back so they can fix the noise, since it was present before I installed the amp. Because they're alsoto lazy to actually trouble shoot and fix the issue it's now going to go back for every rattle I can find because that was some lazy bs

Do you have an aftermarket amp installed?

Not at this time. I removed it. The wiring was in the trunk because I hadn't pulled it.

The muffler bearing needs lubricated. I'm sure of it. :)

Is your wiring laying loose or something? I couldnt imagine wiring making a creaking sound. I had a clunk and a "Knock" in the front when I stab the brakes or over bumps at around 10-15mph. Turned out to be the lower control arm on the diver side. I was told thats a wear item and not covered. this was at 42,000. A little bitching it was covered as well as the oil leak from the oil pressure switch.

It's coiled up in the trunk because I pulled the sub so the couldn't blame that. Guess I didn't pull enough

I think Ford dealerships are the scariest thing about owning a Mustang. I don't have any other recent experience with American cars, so maybe I'm being too harsh.

I have that creak sound, too. But, I thought people here had diagnosed it as sound from the rear glass? Am I wrong?
