Aiight evertime I hit a bump in the road I hear in the right front like a knock as if nut or something was hittin another part of metal. I dunno. I'm not gona lie I've needed brake pads and probably rotters and everything else but I haven't had money to fix that problem. Nothing seems to be out of line when I'm on the highway or anything. Got about 107k on everything, completely stock, so I mean any ideas or if you need more info let me know.
 
I had a similar problem with my 03 gt. after taking it to multiple places and getting no answers i finnaly took it to the stealership. folsom lake ford found my stearing rack mount bolts loose (the bushings had just been replaced and the shop didnt torque them down) my k-member brace bolts were loose and my strut mount bolts were loose. I have also been told that the front struts can also make noise when they have gone bad.
 
Sounds more like your strut is beat and its bottoming out? Does your car lean more towards that side than the other? When was the last time you replaced the struts?
 
Blown Strut.. I had the same problem.. now when you hit a bump does it sound like the car is going to fall apart? lol its loud and as you said your going to feel it on one side more than the other if one strut/ shock is blown out.. you can get a good set of front struts for under 200 or right around there depending on what you want..
 
Yeah it pretty much sounds like its on the verge of loosing the entire front tire and everything from the car. I should just go ahead and do a whole new suspension set up that would be very niiiice. I gota wait til I get moneys though.
