Hello, new to the forums. I see Ford reps in here, I would love to hear from one.
We got our 2013 Sport new in 2013 and now have 150k on it.
Great car, I wish the bloody interior didn't constantly rattle like a can full of marbles though. Only major complaint.
Had to change an upper strut mount fairly young and 2 rear wheel bearings but nothing else suspension wise has been done.
We have this hollow sounding clunk in the front end that's pretty bad, and not just noise you can feel it.
Happens over small sharp bumps, such as going over a parking lot entrance with that 1-2" ledge; approaching at an angle. That's the best way to replicate it.
The whole front and rear end has been checked by multiple (good) mechanics and one mechanic said struts so we did struts and shocks all around. A big chunk of $$ later, NO improvement in noise.
Front end ball joints and bushings completely checked. Lower control arms even taken off to inspect. Sway bar links detached and road tested, noise still there.
There's pretty much nothing left. Any ideas?
Thanks
