Sold my 95 GT about a year ago - missed it ever since. Picked this 94 up on Friday with 35,000 miles. She's in pretty good shape just needs some cleaning and TLC - anyway it's good to be back on the forums - I was already able to diagnose and fix the AC problem using it.

On to my question - I have a creak or a clunk or something in the front end. Seems to be an issue of weight transfer, especially on the left side - or at least it seems like it. Seems to do it just when I take off, and then if I'm going slow and stomp the brake it will do it.

I've done a search and read a lot, but thought I'd ask in this specific forum to see if anyone has had the same experience-

might be the spring isolaters have worn completely through or just fell off, that's my guess because of the weight transfer.

Sounds like it could be quite a few things. I think I'll just get it up in the air and check all the bolts and do some visual checks, then start replacing stuff. Thanks for the replies guys.

I had this same problem. Everytime i hit the brakes hard somthing would "pop" in the front end. It went away after i tightened all the k member bolts. Try that.
