Each time I turn or go up a driveway my car makes a clanking sound and it sounds like its the sway bar that's making it ? before I lowered my car it made the clanking noise but now as much and not as loud. Once I lowered it, it started making it everyday and it just got way louder!! someone help!!

I had a similar problem on my 07 GT. The dealer replaced the upper strut mounts, I think. Then, the lower control arm bushings started to fail (on a 3 year old car)...also a known problem. I was out of warranty but they gave me a "discounted" price to replace them. The front suspension is a bit janky on the "early" s197.
I had that infamous "clunk", too. A local shop just replaced upper strut-mounts, struts, outer tie-rod ends, link-kits and LCA's with ball-joints, plus the sway-bar bushings. Most everything was toast. Rubber-parts were literally cooked and brittle and compressed terribly. The old girl has 75,000-miles on her. She sounds and rides like a new car now! We were first going to do just sway-bar-bushings and link-kits. It was when they took her to the alignment-shop that the other parts were found worn, when they tried aligning her. Such is life.
I drive her like I stole her.............

ALWAYS choose the V over the P!!! Wait... what?
The total bill for all of this came to $1450. The local shop is a member of the local MCA chapter, so he cuts a labor-cost break. He drives a 2007 Shelby Mustang.
