Default popping/slack niose rt front

I've got a noise coming from the right front like something is loose or bad when I hit any kind of bump....lt front sounds nice and solid, rt sounds 10 years old with 100,000 miles on it...car just turned 13,000 miles, is there anything thats common for these cars that I can look at first? strut, sway bar link?

I would check the sway bar link. Hasn't happened to me on the 'Stang, but my Taurus did it once and our mini-van does it (breaks the plastic sway bar link) every year it seems like.

Stock sway front bar links can be make a lot of noise. If they have been removed and replaced then it is more likely to occur. Getting them tight is difficult and doing them too tight can cause them to fail.

I got rid of my problems by buying a set of Sam's nice aluminum and rod end ones!
