ISSUE
Some 2005-2007 Mustang Coupe vehicles equipped with 4.0L or 4.6L (excludes GI 500 and convertibles) may exhibit a "loose lumber", rattle, or chuckle sound from the front end over bumps and rough roads.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
The concern is caused by a body resonance and will not get worse over time nor affect function. A new strut mount has been designed to dampen the vibration.
Replace both Upper Mount Assemblies per Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 204-01.
NOTE
ALIGNMENT IS NOT REQUIRED.
NOTE
DISCARD AND REPLACE ALL FASTENERS.
