TIPS
FORD: 1999-2003 MUSTANG
ISSUE OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: NONE
Some 1999-2003 Mustang Cobra vehicles may WARRANTY STATUS: INFORMATION ONLY
exhibit a “popping” type noise while turning into or OASIS CODES: 304000, 305000, 390000, 702000,
out of an incline, such as turning into a driveway, at 702200
low speeds (below 15 mph (25 km/h). The steeper
the incline the more noticeable the noise will be.
This may be caused by the lateral movement of the

in Figures 1-3, that may not be tightened within the
required torque specifications.
ACTION
Inspect and torque all of the fasteners listed for the
proper torque. Refer to the following Service
Information for details.

following components and locations:
