89 Grand Marquis possible suspension issue

[monotonorobo]

I have noticed no other issues from this vehicle so far besides the popping noise from the front drivers side. It only occurs when I make a hard left onto a bump like a driveway or something. Steering doesn’t feel off or anything/ no wobbling. If someone could tell me what to check then I will check it. Thank you.

I'd say check the sway bar end links and shocks first.
Though your ride so far has seemed like a bit of a dumpster fire (no offense), so a nut & bolt tightness check wouldn't hurt.
I had a bit of a soft clunk on right turns on my MGM, turned out to be a sloppy shock, the upper bushings were toast.

No offense taken, I bought it to learn from anyways. Pretty much everything is alright with it now besides what I mentioned. I’ll Jack up the left side and check it when it stops raining.

If you are maxing out the steering and hitting a bump, you are probably hearing the knuckle rubbing the "stopper" on the control arm. You could clean the rust off of those parts and maybe apply a dab of grease. Pic should be a close representation.

Alright thanks. I am maxing out the steering that’s the only time it occurs.

good thought on the steering limiter. Often that makes a horrific scraping noise if its dry.

another thing that makes random clunks is the sway bar to frame bushing, but that usually has nothing to do with turn angle. They turn to mush after a while and the bar just bangs around in the bracket.
