I was going to post same problem. I replaced the BJs with Moogs a while back and now have this CLUNK when I reverse and turn the wheel hard right out of the driveway. And yes, I lube every nipple :mrgreen:

BTW there are two sizes 28 and 33 I think on the ES Sway Bar bushings from ES. Is one for the 4.7 and one for the 5.2/5.9? Or which one for the 99?

That's something to contact DC about. Hoods have a safety latch to precisely prevent such occurences. If your hood latch didn't restrain the thing from flying off you migh be in for a refund?

I'd replace the lower BJs as well - have fun they're a real PITA to remove?

Bill, is this a freebie from the dealer or just a how-to? BTW mine clunks when cold and low speed in reverse whilst turning the wheel.

Re-reading your post Bill I noticed it said remove the cross member and torsion bar. There's no way in hell I'm doing that again :wall: But what I can't seem to follow is, where's the problem? The "foreign material" or a new cross-member and I don't see how that causes a clunk. What am I missing?

Thanx

But you have to remove the torsion bar and the cross-member?how much does that run as I really don't want to do it again? Can anyone else but the dealer do this? Thanx Bill

Thanx Bill! So 4.5 hours at $85 comes to $382.50 (plus tax) plus parts as I can't see taking my cross-member out again. Question is can one live with the clunk like one lives with seats that move etc or will this eventually cause damage?

Where would I place that sleeve?
