Suspension Noise

Garman91 · February 15th, 2010, 12:18 PM

I have a clunking sound thats getting more pronounced as time goes on. I hear it mainly when I go over a speed bump or pull into the driveway. I also hear it when I pull away from a dead stop (not hard just casually). Sounds like left side when in the car... any ideas?? Kinda hard to describe

Thanks in advance!

did you take your isos out?

Good thought. I only dropped the front end, stock springs still in the rear. All isolators are still installed. The sound seems to be left rear suspension but any ideas would be great. I'm lost... worn bushing? worn wheel bearing possibly? would any of those make sense and if so, what else would be a symptom? I have a wicked vibration at about 110 MPH

Ford has a service bulletin regarding a noise like this. It has to do with the rear sway bar but is suppose to be only on Cobras. Might take a look at the sway bar though. Maybe a worn bushing.

v6s do not have rear sway bars. at least not to my knowledge. i would try looking at bushings and see how they are. you could always add some lube to them and see if it goes away, then maybe they were just dry.
