I have a mild issue!! My Expolerer makes a loud "CLANK" sound when I go over a speed bump, or come off of a curb or steep driveway.

It sounds like Metal on Metal.

Does anyone have this same issue, or maybe know what it is?

I thought it might have been my Blown shox, so I replaced all 4 shox.
It still does the clank thing.

It sounds like it comes from the rear of the vehicle, I even re-tightend my spare tire underneath, I even took it off, and it still does it.

If anyone has any clue about WTF this is, lemme know :mad:

Balljoints?
 






I had the same thing and found it to be the raidus arm bushings. They are a pain in the arse. Sometimes they still look good and are dead. Just a thought.
 






Radius arm bushings sounds like a good place to start.
