I purchased a 2004 Mustang convertible last Fall and have been noticing
a "squeeky" type of sound coming from the front end when I turn the car.
Since I do not have another Mustang to compare it too, was wondering
if this sound is typical for this make and model.

Thanks,
John

If it only makes that noise when you turn, I would be looking at upper ball
joints or tie rods. I would hope you have been keeping up the maintainence,
if not, try greasing them.

    "upper ball joint"? No such think on a fox (79-93), or a sn95 (94-04)
Mustang.

    Sway bar bushings or sway bar endlink bushings. Strut bushing, or bad
strut. *maybe* a bad lower balljoint, but you'd likely be experiencing
driveability issues. *maybe* front lower control arm bushings. *maybe*
alot of things...

    Ford's notoriously noisy power steering pumps can whine loud enough
that I have had totally-non-mechanical people call it 'squeaking'.

    Take it to a reputeable shop and have them look it over. If you are not
comfortable with what they say, take it to another reputeable shop, and
so on.

i have an 04 vert

mine makes the same kind of noise you are describing - only sometimes tho

but from what i have read on the internet boards, it is a common thing with
04's - both coupes and convertibles

i had a 96 vert, and an 03 vert, and neither of them made the noise.
