Good Start (Not)
Discussion
My mustang is all of 3 weeks old and I have a rear diff bearing failure, hope its not gonna be a friay car LOL
Noticed a noise from the rear end early this week, sort of sounded like a binding pad or a stone stuck between disk and pad, but was seemed more diff related as it was central and getting louder.
Oh well that why we have a warranty I guess :-)

Thats suks man. I assume becuase it not sold in the UK by Ford there is no worldwide warranty?
They have rebuilt the diff today, but when test tech took it for test drive after, he felt a vibration from the rear end. So they now suspect one of the drive shafts is out, thereby causing the original diff problem. Ho Hum, have to wait and see what happens next.

Ok so wasnt driveshafts, its a ring and pinion problem.
They have a machine that tests the harmonics and they've found thats whats causing the vibration.
Porblem now is that ring and pinion are on backorder from Ford with no available delivery date, could be tomorrow, could be a week, month etc.
From doing a few searches dont think I'm the first (or last) to have this problem on a new GT, neither am I the first to have the backordered parts issue either.
Dealer and I will will be having discussions today!!

hope it turns out to be a one of problem and the rest of your Stang ownership goes well...
Ford might not honour the warranty but the supplying company in the UK (presuming not a personal import) would be liable under the Sale of Goods Act.hope it turns out to be a one of problem and the rest of your Stang ownership goes well...
