Distortion here, back with more suspension questions.
I recently changed my Upper control arms (and subsequently my ball joints) on my 91 T-bird (5.0) in an attempt to alieviate the Clonking I was experiancing while turning.
And though it appears that a great deal of the problem has been cured, the constant rattleing still remains, and there is still a much milder clonk which can be heard.
I am assuming now that the rattle is being caused by the shocks.
I have determined that the squeak Ive been hearing while turning is from the Sway Bar Stabilizer, not the tie rod ends. Is it likely that this is the source of my clunk/clonk as well? I doubt it is causing the rattle. the rattle is the distinctive shock sound which eventually spreads to the windshield once it has loosened it.
My main questions are this;
Aside from the upper ball joints, what can cause this clonking?
Is it likely that my shocks are causing the rattle?
If so, can I change them without a spring compressor?
As allways, any help is greatly appreciated.
