Clunk in the front passenger side, still?
Ok,
I've replaced both End-links with new Moog ones.
I've just replaced both Strut tower bearings with new KYB ones.
What the hell is still making this dam clunking noise? :angry:
There isn't any play what so ever in the the front end, so i don't know were else to look.
Anyone else go through all of this, if so what was your final problem/fix?
I'm ready to drop this thing off at Ford and tell them either fix it or its there focus. :angry: :angry: :angry:
Thanks
Shawn

Probably a long shot, but is there any chance your sway bar is hitting another suspension component ... had that happen to me ... my swaybar had shifted sideways just slightly and was being hit by IIRC the control arm.

I looked for that actually but I couldn't see any signs of it hitting.
I'm gonna put it back up on the hoist tomorrow and look again though.
Thanks

BTW - - in my case when the car was on the hoist the components didn't touch each other ... my mechanic saw the marks on the sway bar and put two and two together. Good luck.

Ball joints? Lower control arm bushings? Tie-rod ends?
What springs/struts are you running?

I put it up on the hoist today, and couldn't find anything wrong again.
So I'm gonna just buy some KYB AGX's for the front and get rid of the nearly new eibach's.

Can you replicate the noise when stationary, or only when moving?
Which Eibach springs? Prokit or Sportline? Could it be that the spring is popping out of the perch when the strut is fully extended? (just brainstorming here...)

It only makes the noise when the car is moving.
I'm running sportlines and Eibach Dampers.
