UPDATE: Ok.. I now have access to a well equipped workshop, with lifts etc,. I removed the entire sway bar and drop links.. took it for a short, gentle drive, and it still creaks, so it's definitely NOT the roll bar link joints, or roll bar bushes. Still a bit undecided however, because...

Thanks for all the replies so far. Camber should be fine, as it's all stock suspension with no mods so far. Tire wear is even on both fronts. I'll try to get some time this weekend to raise the front and have a play. I'll report back if I find anything.

Not done the sway bar bushes at the front yet, no. I'll try that next. Someone suggested it could be a cracked spring. What do you think? Possible? I'm just trying to rule out all the cheaper options before I buy new suspension. There's no way I will replace it with stock items, so if I...

Yep.. I think you may be right. I think I have two creaks going on here. One the caliper itself, which as you say, some silicone lube on the pad/piston area, but I still have groaning, creaking suspension. If it was the strut top mounts, does it always make a noise when steering? Mine...

Update: Just raised the front end, removed wheels, and sprayed silicone lubricant on all bushings. No effect. The noise seems to be low down by the brake callipers, not the top of the strut. Also, when pressing the brake pedal hard, I get the same creaking noise, but only when the...

I've been searching around, and there are loads of threads about front end groans, creaks, knocks etc, but there's always something not quite matching. I have a 2006MY GT. When I finish braking, and the front rises again, there's a loud, high pitched creaking sound. It's very audible from...

You using Dynamic Photo HDR? I find the interface too simplistic, and it doesn't give me enough control. Never tried artizan, or whatever it's called, so I may give it a whirl. Photomatix can produce noise free images if you have good quality RAWS. You really need to feed it 5 seperate...

Interesting thread this for me as a Photogapher. Some good advice already posted here so no need to repeat anything, just remember a few things: HDR, or ANY effect applied post-production will not make up for a poor photo... either technically, or compositionally. It's meant to enhance...

The plastic steering wheel and plastic dash and cloth seats would annoy me too much I think. Is the Premium too far outside your budget? I'd consider a very recent, low mileage used Premium over the Deluxe. It's not just about MyColor.. it's the leather wheel and seats, and alloy dash that...

Strange thread. First.. I think calling the guy a BS artist and giving him a rough time for not liking the S197 is a bit uncivil to be honest. Just because he doesn't like the cars we do? I do wonder however, why he didn't realise this BEFORE he bought it? Surely if the size and weight...

Another shot of my '06GT from the rear.

Thanks guys! Glad you like them :D

My 2006 GT 2006 GT Premium Tungsten Grey Manual 17" Bullits

I'd love to take credit for that, but the fact is, I had cruise control on and set to 60mph. :rlaugh: It was flat, level ground too with occassional downhill stretches. It IS an extreme case, but I averaged this over a couple of hundred miles. Like I said tho.. now in town traffic and it's...

clutch pedal noise seems to be normal. Mine does it. It's the clutch position sensors for the ECU I would imagine. You can only hear it when you're sat in the car with no engine running tho. On mine, it's not loud enough to hear when driving.

Only had it a week, but here's my 2 cents.... Driving it back home after collecting it (300 miles) I had the cruise set to 60mph, and once at that speed I reset the average mpg and after 100 miles it was reading... you ready for this? I kid you not.... 30.8mpg!!! Seriously... I wish...

I hear you! LOL I was thinking Loudmouths, but my neighbours already give me filthy looks after I've reversed it back into the garage. We're not used to proper sounding cars over here and they get upset unless you got a 1.4 litre 4 cylinder engine that sounds like a sewing machine. There's a...

First of all.... HELLO! First post in here. I picked up my Mustang Last week. A lovely Tungsten '06GT Premium with charcoal interior.... nice! The car is fab.. love it to bits, but I have a question to other S197 owners with manual trannys. Do you get transmission whine? I...
