Re: Jim's 1976 Ford Granada

I finally identified the source of the thunk in the front end on turns that is coming from the vicinity the wheels. The bushings in the spring perches are worn and they are shifting on their shafts. So, new ones should fix it (pricey little devils from NAPA) but same as 64-73 Mustang and many others so easy to find.

I was unable to see the problem until I removed a coil spring and found I could easily slide the perch bracket back and forth an eighth of an inch or so by hand.
