Instead of the bushing being formed as a solid piece of rubber, it contains a void which is filled with fluid to absorb vibration.

It has nothing to do with the mounting points, and more to do with the fluid in the hydro-bushings getting boiled. No amount of lube can cure it.Either way, take it to the dealer and see what they say. Bring a printout of the TSB with you, and make it clear that you want evidence that it was...

There's a TSB for the 2011-2014 Mustangs with front end noise, seems like the hydro-bushings are a bit too close to the cats. TSB replaces the LCA and adds heat shields. Just wondering if anyone here has noticed the issue and had TSB 13-7-8 done...

A long time. I first started using it in my '97 Probe GT.Also don't dump the fluid there's nothing wrong with it. They just don't like the color.

Nope.

Rears are K but the fronts are their own beast.

If money is no object and you want the best, Vorshlag is the way to go.

DSS carbon fiber shaft, installed after about 500 miles on the car. I've had no issues at all.

It's all just part of the marketing. Steeda makes a nice arm, no doubt about it. They haven't had the bushing failures that BRM has and they have more than proven durability on their track cars.That said, I received an email from Whiteline today saying that they should be done with endurance...

Traction control enabled?

It's normal. Factory pipe is flattened for resonance tuning.

According to Whiteline, it's 4130 Chromoly, and supposedly it's TIG welded (according to their rep on another forum).

Different materials (chromoly vs mild steel - in theory you can get the same strength with less wall thickness). Regardless the whiteline unit is TOO thin. Someone did some armchair engineering.

Less vendor drama, more DSS failure analysis please.
