Mysterious Front End Clunk 2005-2014 Ford Mustang (S197) How to Diagnose.
I've owned two of these cars for quite some time and have been through the frustration of trying to find the source of various front end noses more than once! This video will show you every possible cause and how to repair!

2005-2009 Mustang GT (TR3650) Sloppy shifter fix. Bracket and linkage bushing replacement.
มุมมอง 13K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Eliminate the play in your shifter! This video will apply to 2005-2009 manual mustang GTs and possible others with the TR3650 5 Speed Transmission. Over time the poly bushings in the shifter bracket AND in the linkage connecting your shifter to the transmission wear out causing a lot of play. Here is a chart that shows all transmissions by year and model: lmr.com/products/Mustang-Transmissions-...
This is the BEST video on swapping the s197 shifter
Thank you so much! seen these bronze bushings but wasn't sure if those fits my shifter or not, got same Hurst shifter and your video was EXACTLY what i was looking for. Cheers!
You saved my life with this video, very good job :)
But what if its Clunking feelable in the flor when the Car comes to a Stop?
i have this problem with my 2014 convertable left front. i’ve checked the lugs and i have to change the longitudinal braces anywho so i’ll be under it. I’ll be following this video step by step. TY!!
Good luck!
I just finished this mod. I removed the shift paul on the top of the transmission (6:18). Wow, that was not for the faint of heart, even with my driveshaft removed it was a difficult. Now the rest of the mod was easy. But that part on the trans, they must put some strong thread locker on that. On the tightening of the nuts, (3:43) if you tighten them down too tight the shifter will be too tight. Only takes a smidge of a loosening of the nut to make it perfect. Overall a great mod to do (now that it's done).
I have coil overs on my 09 mustang and it makes loud clunking sounds when I brake and go over bumps. I replaced the sway bar end links but it’s still making that sound.
Did you replace the bushings where it’s held to the frame too? That’s where a lot of the noice come from. Easy way to know is take it for a drive without the sway bar on.
Your a life savor
So I bought brass bushings, but when I installed them it's REDICULOUSLY tight to shift. Is that normal?
Hard to say without feeling it. Should be tight for sure but not difficult I would say
I had a strange noise coming from mine, so I got a new one...( Wife)
Thankyou,nice condensed and organized run down.
So these bushings and this procedure won’t work on the V6 T5. I’m trying to figure out how to do it on the T5 but when I look up the bushings it says T5& TR3650 like they are interchangeable.
Not interchangeable. T5 linkage feels way better than these ones though from my experience. Maybe just throw a short shifter in?
You forgot the brake pads and caliper issues
Hy saying nothing but facts I hate hearing my s197 making noise it’s not supposed to be
Thank you for the video , it’s appreciated my friend . I’ve got some shake from the front right passenger side , when I’m reaching 70mphs. and the rear drivers side tire is all greasy . Trying to find out exactly what’s happening.
A shake is usually just a tire out of balance. Maybe you just lost a balancing weight? Good luck hunting down that leak though!
Part number for the linkage I can’t find the part anywhere
Can you please let me know where you get all those parts from? Thanks
At the time I got them from eBay
Actually the red ones were from summit
Where can I get your front turn signal lights / DRLs from?
I ordered those from eBay 👍🏼 lots of options on there. Done it quite a few times over the years
@@bpifitness7406 Yeah, I searched and bought new ones lastly, but didn't see these. Would like them
The answer is usually the two front swaybar bushings and it’s the cheapest to fix so start there
When you buy bushings for the sway bar... how the crap are you supposed to get them on without cutting a slit in it??
This is tremendous! Thank you!
Great explanation! Thank you
ive got it cant find it everything still factory i thought brake caliper ill try sway bar then struts
currently got a "knock-off" kit same exact thing but no H branding,... the thing is those bushings are the culprits i have not installed it but i think it will do well with the bushings that didn't arrive with the kit thnx for the vid....
Does this apply to the v6 model too? My trans has some grinding problems too
No. Different tranny in the v6
hey bro, I watched your video the problem with mine was the bolt that you were talking about was a 14 mm mine came out and caused me not to be able to shift with any 14 mm bolt with the same thread at work
I got a 30000mile 2010 gt and the end links werclunking... shot caused excessive cluncking...now wheel seems loose? Any suggestions?
10 years later and my s197 is finally giving in 😢
I changed all my suspension components in my 2010 mustang. Still No luck. Finally found that my wheel bearing is making that clunking sound. 😅
Thank you I found and fix the problem you’re beautiful! I have an 09
I find it funny how you bypass all the problems that cause the damn noise to talk about some plastic s***
Thanks, followed you advice, cured my noise Problem, Thank You!
What was the issue ?
@@cristiansolis2688 most of the pins that hold the inner fenders in place were gone, also the sway bar bushings were bad, replaced the pins and bushings, no more noise
So, it could be around 30 different things. Thanks! 🤣
Great !! But the noise i always came from the back of the car in the s197 🥲
I wanted to say thanks for the video. I have a 2015 mustang and the noise was the swaybar. I just change the hole thing plus bushing and links. Thank you man you help me alot.
how much was all that?
Man’s is out here diagnosing and thoroughly addressing issues in depth while in a garage that looks about as warm as a walk in beer fridge in krogers. Mad respect.
Excellent information! I found that my inner fender liners need some fasteners replaced. I also found the K member fasteners, radiator bracket fasteners, and front sway bar bracket nuts all needed to be re-torqued.
I had this rattling on the front of my 2014 mustang found out it was my stabilizer bars had them replaced for one hundred thirty dollars parts and labor.
Installed this and wow what a difference!!! Probably one of the best purchases yet!!!
Will the parts fit on my original stock shifter as well?
Yeah. 90% sure. Been a long time since I swapped to after market shifter but from what I recall the factory bushings were the same.
@@bpifitness7406 lost a part but ordered the new one and got it installed and it feels great man. BIG DIFFERENCE ! My bushings were so worn out… great video man, THANKS !
Good video I’m gonna tackle this in the coming weeks
Mine has 111,000 miles on it, none of these have been changed! Should I just do it all?
Haha I did. Depends how long you plan to keep it I guess
was that front bushing eassy to get out.. do you think you couldve gotten it off and installed the other one without taking out the rest of the shifter? i just want to do the one bushing. the others look good.
The front red one?
@@bpifitness7406 yeah. the one you put in off camera.
Yeah that one’s super easy just a poly bushing on either side with a steel cylinder running through for the bolt.
Thanks for this video , do you have one for the rear end noise issues? Thanks again
Not yet. Only thing I’ve ever heard of going bad in the rear is the control arm bushings. Hasn’t happened on any of mine yet! That and wheel hop I guess haha
Looking at a completely unrelated topic and I have found a completely relatable tpoic. I have coils and and just started noticing a sound.
Hey man I got a couple questions, you still active?
Sure, fire away!
@@bpifitness7406 awesome! Man I just got these I installed them and shifting was super stiff, like I could barely move my shifter up and down. Did you have this problem at all?
@@presleycantrell5145 I would say very slightly for the first test run but no not as stiff as you’re describing. Sounds odd
@@bpifitness7406okay thank you, after thinking a lot on it I believe I know where I made the mistake. I believe I mixed up the pair of bushings going on the shifter handle and the pair on top of the trans. I believe I put the thicker ones on the handle which is causing the issue. Thank you for your responses!
@@bpifitness7406if that’s even possible, I’ll take it apart tomorrow and see what I messed up lol
Great video damn
This is by far the best video I have watched. Please do one for the rear.
Never had a clunking problem until it stayed in my garage and i took it out after a month. Cruising at 30+ mph, i dont hear anything but at way slower then that, the sound is there and i cant tell if something is about to fall out and its pretty worrying. One thing of note is that my car has 270,000 miles on the tachometer
mines high miles like yours i have a 2010gt with the clunking noise i’m definitely going to check everything he told me to. it’s just annoying to hear all the time lmao
@@s197_Nate ive got a 2007 V6, idk if there is any internal difference between the pre and post facelift but same my anxiety is always through the roof hearing it
@@ohwaitchristian haha they didn’t change much chassis wise the 2010 is the same platform just the new body. what you should take out of this is it should make you feel better that you aren’t the only one who has this problem me and many others have it lmao so that makes me feel personally a bit better but i’m still going to get to the bottom of it
@@s197_Nate if you ever figure out a solution plz let me know because i dont have the money to afford a mechanic lol
Great video! Only wish is that you went more into depth on the source and the sound associated with it. My 12’ has had a chirping noise in the front for a few years now that has slowly gotten louder. Constantly doing it at all speeds and even on the smoothest of roads. Any guesses on the source? Finally have the time and now knowledge to try to tackle it in the coming weeks
There was one time I had a really noticeable chirp. It ended up being loose control arm bolts
