5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
When I turn really sharp in my car it makes a "clunk" sound. Ball joints are pretty new and the car is lowered a bit. I'm guessing something is worn out, maybe end links, rod ends?
Could be any number if things. If you can't check it out take it to someone who can before you are going down the road and your front wheels decide they want to go opposite directions
Some noises can be ignored depending on what it is but I'd never trust a noise in the front of a Mustang. The lower ball joints are being pulled out of their socket by design. Enough wear and like Portmaster said front wheels in opposite directions.
My Mustang does this too, not really sure what to think of it. The whole front end of the car is tight, only does it when the conditions are just right.
i have the same exact problem...i turn the wheel it clunks i turn it another way it clunks if the car shifts at all it clunks..idk wtf it is...think its tie rod??
