Wow. There's a little bit of me that wants to pull the plug on the mustang before it gets here. I do have to remind myself that it is still just a ford!

it's the control arm on the passenger side.....drivers side is fine.

Not sure how this even happens on a brand new car.....

I might pay a specialist company to do a 'survey' on the car as and when I pick it up. Shouldn't have to do that for a new car but seeing all the defects! Unbelievable

Car is under warranty for 3 years, so it'll get sorted......it's just the hassle of having to book in, drive 45 miles for a 2 minute inspection....to agree to fit a part that'll be on back order anyway..:(

I've sent these pics to the service dept, so I'm hoping for once they can order based on these......but somehow I suspect not, and I'll end up wasting a day having to visit the dealer:tsk::rant:

Do what I did with my puddle light; when they refuse to order it without seeing it first, offer to pay for the part upfront telling them when you book the car in for them to fit it, if indeed it does turn out to be a warranty issue they can just refund you. You'll be out the cost of the part for a bit but at least it will save you the hassle.

As it turns out, my dealer decided to just order the part for me anyway after I offered to pay.

I sent my dealer a picture of my boot, asking for it to be fixed under warranty as the right side sits a little higher and not flush (The only SLIGHT misalignment on the car). I'll wait until she agrees before I get the work carried out.

As for yours, urgh, I'd try pictures and pray they offer to fix before hand.

Why are things like this being missed on this PDI check thing, can't see any paint scrape marks so i'm guessing this was put on in this state when the car was built, do they have a huge bin in FlatRock that has all the defective bits in then they think oh we'll just stick them on the export cars to save us money.

It's a strange one that's for sure.....the only thing I can think of is that maybe the upright has a sharp edge on it where it meets the rubber boot on the ball joint, and this has happened whist the wheels move left and right during steering:shrug:

I haven't checked the upright, but I'll ask the dealer to when they fix it, or same thing will happen to the new part

If it's not causing any problems, I'd probably wait until you've got a few more issues (your pony projections will probably need doing for a start) and get them done at once, otherwise you'll get fed up with keep taking it back and each time it goes in, there's risk of further damage.

Not nice mate, it's the inconvenience that's most frustrating :headbonk:
