Is there any way on the 2000 ford taurus to have the tail lights blink
when you either lock or unlock the car.

also, the other day i noticed when I am driving i have noticed a small
knocking noise coming from the front of the vehicle, it only seems to
happen when I hit a bump. Anyone know what could be the problem?

I second that, stabilizer bar links. I had the recall performed on the
front coil springs and the driver side knocked for two weeks
afterwards. Brought it back to the dealer and they took care of that
no charge, I think the tech just tightened the bolts on the bar ends?

links are not covered is this true?

Covered? Covered for what? Your warranty is certainly long gone isn't it?

There's no tightening them unless they were loosened for the spring job.
They're "lifetime lubed" ball joints.
