Long time reader, first time posting
I have been following this board since I bought my L in June of 2000, (red). Anyway, I have been to the dealer several times for a strange front-end noise (only occurs when turning the wheel all the way, left or right). I believed the problem to be the clunk that many of you have described.
Well, today I get a call from the dealer, where my L has been for the past 3 days. They tell me that they have replaced the parts and aligned the truck, but now it is pulling to the right, severely. They take the truck back to the shop and align it to the point where it is not pulling, but they had adjust is really far, too far. Also, when they aligned it to the point where it was driving straight, the front end noise returned.
Now they are looking at the frame, they think that the axle might not be sitting square or that the frame may be twisted.
Sorry for the long post, just thought that I would post this info.

My 01L has'nt done it yet, but I'm going with "Herbs Washers", installing the cam bolts on top(then all the adjustment can be done from the top),and from what I've read on the board,this licks the problem. It seems the ford fix(the star washers on the lower A arm bolt) just is'nt cuttin' it.
