Having recently finished a full front end refurbish, im a bit miffed to find that anytime my suspension is torned left past about halfway and then compressed a bit (even light acceleration, like pulling left out of a driveway or parking spot ) It makes a pretty horrendous clunk, but im stumped, as everything is new, my only thought is the inner tie rods ( which i didnt replace ) or that something is incorrect with the rack itself. really rather frustrating. Any tips on where to look would be appreciated. - not yet checked the k-member brace, will do that in the am and see what that does.

Have the same exact problem. Have had mine up on the alignment rack turn plates and couldnt really even pinpoint where it was coming from. Sounds like it was coming from inside the rack. Has anyone replaced a rack to try to solve this?

I had a similar noise and it turned out to be one of the bolt-on stiffening bars that run under the engine. It was barely loose and would make a creak/thunk when the K-member was put under load.

I tightened it down and the noise was gone.

I remember reading some one on here solving there front end clunk by tighting the front sway bar bolts.

Suspension 2005 GT Left (driver side) tire wobbles, most noticeable on right turns. With front end jacked, more free play on left than right.
