I have a 2000 f150 scab that is having front end problems. It needs an alignment that I know of but latley its making a weird sound when I hit a bump. It honestly sound like somebody rattles keys when you hit something. Does any body have a clue as to what this could be? Thanks for any help

 

Have you checked to see if a front shock is loose? Get up under there and start yanking and pulling.

 

Here is the problem circled in the picture, its loose and rattling, does anybody have more information. Does this need to be snug and tight?

 

Thats your sway bar end link, and yes it should be tight. If you can't tighten it you can buy a sway bar end link kit at your local parts store for around $20.

 

i was gonna say check for loose change in the cup holders and thats the source of noise but i dont want to be a smartass haha kookookachoo is right

 

That is your sway bar link. It does need to be tight. Looks like it needs to be replaced by the looks of the lower bushing.

Edit:
Didnt see kookookachew's post.

 

thanks for all the help guys. the bushings are pretty much shot so ill go get those parts. My f150 is a sport model that pretty leveled off. Do the sport models come leveled out or do you think there is probably a kit on my truck? Thanks again
