Low speed front end clunk

I know I found a thread talking about a low speed front end "clunk" on the f53 chassis. I have had mine checked by a truck spring and axle shop. They could hear the clunk but could not find any problems.
Can anyone point me to the posting (it had a copy of a ford tsb fix attached)
Many thanks

Welcome to the forums

take a careful look at the front sway bar links, bad bushings, binding sway bar.

ALSO on my old 2001 Mirada, the shocks were causing the thunk on sharp turns.. I replaced them with standard ole Monroes, and the thunk went away.

I had that issue on my first motorhome - Ford F53...it was the kingpins. It was brand new and Ford authorized their replacement.

Read an article about a slow speed clunk on a MH. Turned out to be a coke can under the driver’s seat. Never underestimate how sound and water travel.
Good luck.
