Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / February 2005left U-turn, loud clunk, right side
99 Windstar 87k got this possibly new thing, not sure I dont make u-turns too often, but I made 2 within the last 2 days, about 3/4's of the way through one I get a clunk from what sounds like the right front, a mile later I found an empty parking lot and tried both left and right turns but it wouldnt do it again but it did do it 2 seperate days. One of these days I will get it up on a lift and begin shaking things, just wondering if anything comes to mind for anyone from my description. > 99 Windstar 87k > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > lift and begin shaking things, just wondering if anything comes to mind > for anyone from my description. Do you have the wheels that have the "liner" to keep the brake dust off the outside of the wheels? I bought my wife an 03 Expy with these dust "liners", when I made a hard right turn, it sounded like the left front wheel was gonna fall off!! I took it to back to the dealer, the mechanic "adjusted" this cover and it has not done it again. bamp >> 99 Windstar 87k >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >bamp lmfao u are a tard hurc ast I think everyone here knows who the tard is....

He's the pro-abortion poster child. Tom On each lower control arm is a strut that goes forward to the engine cradle. I recall a TSB regarding loose bushing "pockets" in the cradle. If you have access to a MIG welder, the fix is simple. Remove the nut and outer bushing, clean and prep the area and weld the "pocket" to the cradle using 3 evenly spaced beads about 3/4 to 1 inch in length.

With that mileage, I would also check the tie rod ends for play.
