Noise / Vibration @ full lock

[Adz]

Hi all

UK mustang owner here. Does anyones mustang make a slight noise at full lock, both left or right when driving below 10mph

I can feel a slight vibration through the steering wheel also.

Just want to know if this is normal behaviour?

Happens when car/tyres are cold or warm

Thanks

If the outside temps are below 50* and your S550 has the “Summer Only” tires - yes, they will make a weird chatter or grinding noise if taking the car out of a parking spot while turning the front wheels. Even if driving around a parking lot and having to make an almost 90* turn, you will hear the same. Once the tires warm up, the noise disappears or is not as pronounced.

It’s completely normal and due to the tire compound.

Most Summer Only tires have notes that they should not be driven on when outside temps are in the 40’s or below. Does that mean you CAN’T drive on them - no. It just means that the tire performance and grip in dry OR wet situations will be severely degraded in cold weather - so use common sense and BE CAREFUL.
