Lower control arm popping.

[SILV03MustangGT]

i had the LCAs replaced about 2 weeks ago and today the front end started making noise again. I thought the LCAs used were supposed to eliminate this issue? how many times have people been in to have their LCA's replaced? i know that there is a TSB out for it, but this is kinda silly to have the car going back into the shop to have this issue addressed again. anyone else have multiple LCA replacment?

I had mine replaced too and the popping is back. Doesn't seem to do it as regular as the first time.

I've experienced this a little, but only when going over a speed bump.

Sid that's the same thing mine does. Speed bumps and pulling into my inclined driveway. Makes a poppin noise and the ford service dept noticed and talked with ford engineering about it and replaced the control arm. When I get a break from work I'm gonna try to take it back in and let them know it's still there

My 12 GT now has 4000 miles on it and the driver's side LCA was replaced at 2000 miles. It is just now started to make the same popping and creeking noises that the first one made. :cuss: I was told that Ford has been aware of the issue and supposedly discontinued the original design of the LCA and now has an improved one which was what the dealer said they were installing. Obviously that was a line of BS. Calling them today to schedule another replacement. This sucks!

I had this happen once on a very low speed off camber U-Turn. I think it's probably more of an annoyance then a critical problem. But then, you really shouldn't be annoyed by a $40,000 car.
