:D Why no after the shaft swap am I experiencing a clunk in the front end when I turn some what sharply with an slight to agressive amount of speed. I have visually inspected all front end components and they seem good and suggestions before i venture back to the local parts changers.

Thanks

Had the same clunk you describe & thought it was the front end. Replaced upper control arms with bushings & ball joints, pitman & idler arms, shocks, and anti sway bushings. Still clunked. After a month of searching, the problem was the rubber bushings that the torsion rod cross member floats on which are riveted to the chassis. Hard to believe this is your problem with an 06 though!!!

thanks i will take a look. I agree with you that this seems a little soon for these kind of noises. Noticed today if i turn all the way to the right it pops sitting still. O well i can live with all of this as long as i dont start having blown head gaskets egr problems and all the other bs associated with owning a ford.
