Replying to: zetec (Jan 13, 2009 7:26 am) My experience is much like Ed's -- during slow turns it'll ping, almost like a spring is twanging -- but I don't notice it in the gentle turns on the highway.   It also makes the noise when I go over a bump in the road, but otherwise handling hasn't been affected.   I'd much rather not face a steep repair bill, like Ed. -- any thoughts? (And thanks for the help!) Replies to this message: rmncoknme (Jun 07, 2009 2:55 pm)
#142 of 149 Check Engine Light by conanh May 26, 2009 (1:13 pm)
I have had a check engine light on for a year now. The code is engine lean bank one. I have had smoke test done on this car and replaced two O2 sensors. And still no luck. Where I live it will not pass the emissions test so soon I will not be able to drive my car. Has anyone have the same problem.

Replying to: bo2003focus (May 26, 2009 12:44 pm) I have had two cars that made a noise like this. Both needed new sway bar link(s). Just replaced one on my wife's Escape, problem solved. The OEM had only plastic to surround the ball on either end. Replaced with a MOOG unit, holy cow like a bomb shelter with grease fittings and all. BTW, if you grab the link at either end and try to move it, if it's bad, it will allow wiggle.
