Creak/Snap Noise From Driver And/Or Passenger Front Door Struts When Opening/Closing The Door – 2017-2021 Ford GT

NHTSA ID Number: 10187946

Manufacturer Communication Number: SSM 49567

 

Summary

Some 2017-2021 Ford GT vehicles may exhibit a creak/snap noise from the front door strut(s) when the driver and/or passenger doors are opened/closed. This may be due to reduced lubrication and/or dirt present at the front door strut ball and socket joints. If the noise is confirmed to be from the front door strut(s), the front door strut(s) should be removed per Workshop Manual(WSM), Section 501-03. After removal, the front door strut ball on the body and the socket of the front door strut should be thoroughly cleaned of existing grease and dirt. Once cleaned, apply Motorcraft® XG-11 High Temperature 4×4 Front Axle and Wheel Bearing Grease to the socket of the front door strut before reassembly. Any excess grease should be wiped away from all front door strut ball and socket joints.
