Totally noisy situation on front end especially over rough surfaces. Sway bar links are made of plastic and break very easily evidently.

I have a clunking sound coming from front suspension when driving over bumpy roads mostly when im coasting if I give it gas it must tighten suspension and doesnt always rattle. I've had several parts replace to only make it quiet temporarily;front struts, lower ball joints, sway bar links.

There is a loud clunking noise in the front passenger's side when the car hits bumps in the road. The noise started just after the 36,000 mile warranty was up. I have been told the noise was caused by bearings and tie rod ends, which I had replaced. The noise persists and seems to be getting worse. Three garages have not been able to locate the source of the noise (including one today). To me, it sounds like something in the suspension is broken. No one has been able to help me with this. The noise has gotten much worse over the last couple of years, and it is very annoying.
I will not own another Ford. I have never had so many problems with a car before.

The suspension on the Taurus is making a clunking noise. I had to replace the ball joints, tie rod ends, cv joints along with other issues that I have had with this car. (Ford should be liable for this also, as they are the front) 2 sets of brakes and tires within the last 8 years.
