Hello,
I own a 98 Ford Windstar 3.8 lit and has 200,000 kms on it.
I have been experiencing a single clunk noise in the front end. It only happens at the startup if the car was sitting for few hours.
I cannot repeat the same if I turned off the van and restarted again. It has to sit for 3-4 hours for the clunk to repeat.
I have replaced the following and it did not help.
Outer tie rods, Engine mounts - Front and back, Strut bearings, Stabilizer links, Subframe bushings, Sway bar and bushings (Metal sleeve welds are fine), Lower control arms, Front wheel bearings.
I am tired of this clunk now. It happens only once and is loud.
Please help.
Thanks.
Jay
