Gotta Question

[uvbnbit]

Does anyone else have this problem? I have noticed a clicking sound from the rear driver tire area (the sound is almost like a u-joint going bad), but I have been reading other boards, and a lot of the 99-01 Cobras all have a clicking sound. It comes and goes. I think I might have narrowed down the problem, but I would like bring my car into Packey Webb. I have a 75k warranty, but I also added a s/c, and Ford can say that due to excess horse power they are not going to cover it. Any ideas? Drivability is great, though...
:huh:

I've never noticed any sounds like you are describing. Of course with a convertible it's hard to hear minor sounds. It could be many things, the traction control involves a contraption that looks like a giant watch gear, something could be rubbing on that under certain loads. THe real concern is a failing half shaft. A guy named Rick Lynch has a web site and shows how to inspect your shafts. Or have Packey Webb guys do it. Unless your running slicks or large rear tires they shouldn't worry about the S/C. Of course I heard of dealers not honoring warranties because of missed oil changes!:mad:

Keep us posted.;)

I think I have the same noise in my 03. I can here it most noiticbly when starting from a stop, sounds almost like a aluminum can, oil canning, buckling.

Could be the half shalft U-Joints. My car is completely stock.

Try posting at one of the tech forums. Somebody there is sure to have had the same problem.;)
