I have a 2000 taurus flex fuel, Has, 88,000 miles on it. there is a clunking noise coming from the front drivers side when i hit bumps, I looked under the car noticed the ball joint was leaking grease so today i ripped it apart pressed a new joint in and replaced the outer tie rod....No change. same sound...Also when I have people in my back seat usually 3 people there is a rattling sound in the rear like a loud vibrating....
2000 Taurus Clunking Noise?
Sway bar links are a problem on these. Hard to tell if they are bad , but they make a rattle type noise.
They are right and left and also have an up and down to them.
Also gotta watch that the frme mount for the sway bar hasn't rusted off / loose. If it is bad you have to replace the complete cradle.
2000 Taurus Clunking Noise?
the clunking noise could be a loose or bad strut and the vibrating in the rear could be a bad hub bearing.
bad motor mount?
all the above are in the right state of mind, usually a strut, tie rod, control arm busing, upper or lower ball joint worn out... easy fix though but get it fixed as it only wears out other things etc...
