i started my car the other day and it was making a strange noise from the shaker ...kinda like a squeaking noise ...i turned off the car and moved the shaker with my hand and it made the same noise ...was wonder if the shaker needs oil or something ...the car only has 10 thousand miles ..any help would be greatly appreciated

Ford has a Technical Service Bulletin regarding this issue. There are revised 'shaker mount' bushings available. I had the same issue and the new bushings fixed it 100%. They are very easy to install.

is that 20 cents or 20 dollars each ??

Thunderbolt · 06-28-2011, 07:38 PM

Unfortunately, around $20 apiece. Most people had them replaced under warranty. Stockers are white, and the replacements are black.

ricky bobby · 06-28-2011, 10:10 PM

does ford still carry these parts or does someone here on the reg have any?

Lonestar · 06-29-2011, 01:17 PM

Ford should still have them. I replaced mine years ago. Check with your dealer I would think they can order you some.

My wife's Mach did this. Drove me nuts. I just removed the shaker scoop, and put s-bends in the bracket that were grounding out under the scoop. Squeak gone.

Lonestar · 06-30-2011, 09:05 PM

There are 4 rubber bushing that need to be replaced there was TSB on them I just bought new ones from Ford and replaced them.

For an even cheaper solution you can also raise the mounting studs with the ball ends by giving them about 2.5 turns to stop the metal to metal contact. This also raises the shaker so don't go too high or you can crack the hood.

Then then add a little dielectric grease inside the original white bushings to prevent any squeaking. I did this to my shaker about 2 years ago and haven't had a problem since. Saved me from having to spend 80 bucks!

+1 mine was squeaking and i use some grease and it sovled the issue for over 3 years now.

on a side note my shaker only had 3 of the 4 posts attached to the shaker. I was gonna get another post but the Shakes shakes nicely so I kept it with only 3 posts.
