Default Help out mom

Hey guys, I got a call from Mom today complaining about her car making funny nosies..Normally I'm the one to fix all her car related problems, but now i dont live anywhere near her, and I dont exactly have the talent of diagnosing cars just by the symptoms, Im better at putting my hands on them, and feeling it out.

On to the symptoms...she says that is a loud squeaky,popping kind of a noise, that is coming from only the front left tire area. She says that it makes the noise when traveling over bumps, and turning the wheel all the way over. I will/can get more info if needed, but I can also say that I've replaced the tie rods,ball joints and rotors in less than the past two years..What my thoughts are, is its something in the suspension control arm,shock,strut, but I cant tell. and btw its a 95 mustang v6..thanks for any help guys

It's most likely gonna be the upper strut mount/strut bushing. It's a pretty common problem on the thunderbirds and mustangs. I would suggest she have them both changed if she can afford it. If one is bad the other won't be too far behind it.

Check to see if there is any play in the wheel bearing too,when its jacked up and before you remove the wheel.
