Re: Pop Noise When Turning
Getting close .... very close!
Before those expensive Ford parts arrive, I thought I might try a bit of gerry-rigging to see if the problem could be identified for sure and perhaps do a bit of correction. I made some rubber washers from gasket material (6"x6"x1/8"...Lowe's #PP25547) ... approx 3 1/2" OD, 2 1/2" ID. I installed one at each sub frame corner under the sub frame ... to offset compaction/distortion that had occurred in the original rubber parts. The LH rear corner was extra worn, so it got an extra washer above the sub frame.
Much improved! The front end is tighter and quieter than it has been for years ... and I have to have things just so to hear the faintest noise now. I probably should have installed two washers on the LH front corner. But this faint noise may be somewhere else entirely ... its so small I doubt if I will ever find it ...or care too.
I'll just put those new parts away for some later date.
