I have a '96 Mustang Cobra that started developing a chirping noise at
around 20000 miles. So I took it to the dealer and they replaced the
front rotors and turned the rears. 4000 miles later it has started
chirping again. So I guess I will be back at the dealer again soon. As
a side note, I have also broke the rear sway bar going out of a driveway
at about 1 mph and I have had the transmission rebuilt once and recently
replaced. It seems that Ford in their infinite wisdom had a few 6
speeds laying around in '96 and so they put them in the Cobras and
blocked out the six gear. Well it never shifted smoothly and
occasionally it popped out of gear. It now has a '98 Cobra tranny (5
speed ) in it. I hope that is all of the weird stuff to go wrong on
this car.
