So you spent a bunch of money and shotgunned in a bunch of new parts... Which might have accidentally solved the problem without actually identifying the original issue? Tell me, have you considered a career as a dealership mechanic?

Seriously tho, glad it worked out but I was kinda curious what it would be. I have all the parts you just removed and no weird noises, so it would have been nice to know the cause.

Absolutely!!! Spent some loot, i dont care-Just wanted that noise to END!!! I dont have the time to diagnose it, work is crazy, kids and wifee!!! Overwhelming!!!
Thank you, I think it was a combo of errors.. I think the mechanic didnt torque the sway bar & end link bolts to TQ spec, bar shifted in hard cornering which bent an end link and the noise would happen everytime i turned the steering wheel, like a huge clunk crack. I def dont like the poly bushings, id rather go with RUBBER and GT350R bars, Also the STEEEDA G-track front brace for sale!!! I will be swapping out the rear soon and putting the both front and rear BMR's for sale cheap soon!

They were regular FORD end links from rockauto!!! Nothing special... I was there watching them humps TQ those bolts to 85FT lbs and sway bar bolts to 81FT lbs!!!

Looks like you have to do some math and take measurements lol.
