Nasty Rattle In Front End

[tim6918]

I have a '00 LS V6 and I am experiencing a nasty knocking noise in, what I assume is, the front suspension. I read on hear that people were experiencing worn knuckles. I replaced both the passenger and drivers side knuckles and the knock remains. If anyone knows what is going on here I would appreciate ay advice. I would rather not take it into the stealership and have them diagnose the issue.

More than likely its the sway bar bushings. Happened to my car when I first bought it.
I believe that you have to buy the whole swaty bar and bushings combo because the bushings are not split which would allow you to replace just the bushings.

Do you know what that will cost. I know it will be better then the knuckles.

I would contact Team Ford or Five Star Ford. They sponsor this site and have adds to the right of the page.

I haven't worked with Five Star, but Team Ford gave me a great deal recently.

You might also try a PM to 00ls-sport (a member on here). He works in a Ford Parts department. I've purchased from him several times using a credit card. He ships fast and offers great prices.
