05 poping in front end!!
Hey whats up guys! Just wanted to see if anyone else is having problems with there
front end poping while turning. I have a 05 V6. Took it in once already, took 3!!! visits until they found
bad gasket on the front sway bar. I asked to see the part and they couldn't find it!! Seemed a little
fishy but the poping stoped for about 2 weeks. Now Im getting ready to go back for ROUND 2!! About
to drive me crazy. Wanted to see if any of you guys had any advice before I go.
Thanks for the help.

dont know if this helps, but on my 03' v6 i hear poping all the time, didnt know what it was till i opened my hood, it was just the alternator clicking in and out, kinda wierd, but it works fine.

RE: 05 poping in front end!!
I have the same problem with my 05 GT. I have had it in the shop 4 times. They have replaced the struts, springs, and sway bar gaskets. The popping stops for about 2 weeks and then starts again. I have been told my my service advisor at my local Ford dealership that Ford is aware of the problem and are in the process of getting service bulletins out on them. Don't know what else to tell you but, that I'm feeling your pain also.

I have had the same popping...in the shop three times for strut bearing replacements, and now it is happening again. I am headed back in Thursday for visit #4 on the suspension, and will take care of the gas tank issue the same day

RE: 05 poping in front end!!
There is already a TSB for this. TSB 04-24-20: LIMITED SLIP AXLE CHATTER, SHUDDER, BINDING TSB 04-24-20
ISSUE: Some 2003-2005 Expedition/Navigator, 2004-2005 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 9.75" or 8.8" limited slip rear axle, and 2002-2005 Explorer 4dr, Mountaineer, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Town Car, and Mustang vehicles equipped with 8.8" limited slip rear axle, may exhibit a chatter, shudder, a binding sensation, or a vibration during low speed turns.
ACTION First verify the condition. On 4x4 trucks ensure that the vehicle is in 2WD, to isolate the rear axle. On all vehicles, turn the wheel fully right (or fully left) and then accelerate the vehicle. If the condition is verified to be in the rear axle, replace the limited
slip clutch pack.

RE: 05 poping in front end!!
This is in response to the post that 05SatinSilver posted. The TSB that you posted is for the rear end problems. It has nothing to do with the popping in the front end. I contacted my dealership service dept. and gave them the TSB # & they said that it wouldn't fix my problem. This has to do with the rear end slipping. Thanks!
