CERTAIN AFTERMARKET ROUSH BRANDED FRONT STRUTS AS A STAND ALONE COMPONENT, PART NO. 401297, AND ROUSH BRANDED FRONT STRUTS AS A SUSPENSION KIT, PART NO. 401296, SOLD FOR USE ON 2005 AND 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT VEHICLES. THE FRONT ANTI ROLL BAR ATTACHMENT BRACKET ON THE FRONT STRUT CAN SEPARATE FROM THE STRUT HOUSING DUE TO INCONSISTENT WELDING.

I HAVE REPLACED 2 BATTERIES ON MY 2005 MUSTANG. DEALER SAYS THERE IS ALWAYS A SMALL DRAW ON BATTERY EVEN IF NOTHING IS PLUGGED IN. THEY HAVE CHECKED THE ALTERNATOR AND IT'S OK. IF I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A WEEK MY BATTERY ALWAYS DIES. THE OTHER DAY I SHUT MY CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND IT DIDN'T WANT TO START. *TR
HIGHWAY CRASH AT 75 MPH. THE MUSTANG HIT A VEHICLE THAT JUMPED THE MEDIAN . NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT . I NEVER HAD A WARNING LIGHT OR ANY INDICATION THAT THE SRS SYSTEM WAS AT FAULT . THIS MUSTANG HAD A FULL FRONTAL IMPACT . I DID CONTACT FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD { YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LITIGATE A CASE AGAINST US } I WOULD HAVE TO PROVE THAT IF THE AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY MY INJURY'S WOULD OF BEEN LESS SERIOUS . I DID BRAKE MY NECK FROM THE IMPACT .I'M SURE THE AIRBAG WOULD HAVE HELPED ME...
