Thanks! I searched for "sway bar bushings" but it didn't return that thread. :confused:

Got the clunk in the front end. Put it up on stands and I can rattle the sway bar in the frame mount bushings, mostly on the drivers side. Is there some sort of trick to get to the bolts on this mount. I couldn't see any good way to get to them with out pulling the fan out, which I don't want to...

I'm taking it to a transmission shop Tuesday for an estimate. I explained the noise and the guy thinks it's definately the TC. Especially since the noise stops when the TC locks up at highway speeds and in park with no load on the motor. He suggested doing all you mentioned above plus checking...

That's exactly what it does. I work for SBC communications and our fleet mechanic says he would be surprised if it were the torque converter, especially since I have under 100k miles (63,000 actually). I also confirmed this with a local transmission shop. They both said to check for something...

Took it to the dealership (stealership) yesterday and they said it was the torque converter. They claim it will be $1100 to replace it. This seems way high to me. I can see it being this high if it were a front wheel drive model but it's not. It's rear wheel drive and dual exhaust. So nothing...

Putter-GLHT :yourock: Smacked it with the hammer and all is good. Thanks for the info. It's greatly appreciated! :Beer

00 Lincoln LS V8 While driving the car today, all of a sudden the car wants to idle at about 3000 RPM. When I pulled to a stop sign I had to stand on the brakes to hold it back. Turned it off in the driveway and tried restarting and still idleing at 3000. What could cause this??? Thanks...
