Reload this Page front end clunking 2005 focus st

Ford Focus Overall, it feels cushier than other compacts, both in terms of its comfortable seats and its soft suspension. It's fun to drive, however, with agile handling. It's comfortable on long trips and stable at high speeds. The Focus is among the best of the compacts in terms of ride quality and has been lauded by the enthusiast publications for its handling.

Stabilizer links are usually at fault.

Default links not at fault
I looked at the links and tested the ball joints. They seem OK.
I'm thinking it's the struts. If so, should I go to the Ford dealer or does someone have a better suggestion? This is a zx4 st so I would want something decent. I'm not going to do them myself.

Swapped out the stabilizer links and it fixed the problem.
Thanks JohnMark1985.
