Front end Making Noises

[FuelSlut]

So my 03 svt focus started making these clunking noises in the front and the struts squeak all this is happening when I go on uneven roads. Its really annoying, anyone ever have this happen to their car and what is causing the clunking sound.

I inspected everything underneath and everything seems tight, sway bar, struts, ball joints, Im a little stumped. Anyone chime in.

Might want to take a look at the front sway bar end links. Notorious for going bad. Jack up front both sides and check for horizontal play/cracks in end link boots. Had a similiar problem at lower speeds.

Had the same problem weeks ago and had the endlinks changed, problem gone. BTW Moog are the best.

is the noise passenger side front? if so check to see if the swaybar is centered. . if not the end link bolt will hit the fenderwell. happened to mine and i know of at least 5 other 03 svt foci with the same problem min is offcenter by 1" you can see slight damage to inner fenderwell
