Doesn't sound good to me. Also, Power steering fluid is low. Also, it is hard to tell, but I almost hear a vac leak or something whistling.

Maybe I'm being cynical, along with intolerant and irritable, because I haven't slept much in the last two weeks with my wife being in a CCU/ICU, but a post like this won't win you any friends or help with any problems in the future.

Is this forum on GT500s a good place to find good technical information? Yes, in fact it is one of the better forums with members that will try to help you in ways you evidently won't learn to appreciate. Will the members here go out of there way to give you technical information worthy of reading to diagnose or fix a problem? Yes, but when you alienate them in less than one month of membership in only 19 posts, what do you think the response will be to your questions in the future?

Do you think Snoopy will take the time to post a link to a PDF for the complete instructions on diagnosing, tearing apart and rebuilding a rear axle assembly after a comment like the one I quoted? He has went out of his way to send me many emails with complete PDFs of parts of the current Ford service manuals for the problems I've encountered.

My tolerance level is low, but I believe your integrity might just be lower.

I really don't care if my post is removed or if other administrative action is taken for me speaking my mind, but somebody needs to say it.........and I'm being nice with what I said, instead of what I really want to say.

You sound like you'd be a blast at parties.

I'd consider getting someone else to "go through" your car, because it's making a lot of sounds that it shouldn't. In other words, it sounds like shit.

Alienate how ? I simply asked for some help in guiding me in a direction i worked hard 8 years to purchase a dream of mine, to come here and ask for advice and help. to get Sounds like shit, but what exactly sounds bad what is it you hear that i dont. I havent seen many of these in my area. My integrity has nothing to do with how the last few people carried themselves on a simple question does this sound healthy?

found that the new rack we put in behind the left boot seal is leaking. Causing the sound. Super cool advice!!

Compression and leak down will tell you everything you need to know about the motor. Good luck
