[QUOTE="CaliGT500524, post: 15655207, member: 185428"] Thanks for responding. Right, I'll have to take a closer look at the control arm bushings, didnt have much time when it was on the lift for something else. That was my thinking, that the sway bar will squeak when it starts to go bad, I'll look into that further. In relation to the gears, I dont have the typical howl but there is most certainly a clunk when I turn the driveshaft from one direction back over to the other direction. Seems like more than the .008"-.012" that Ford recommends however, I have yet to actually measure it. I have heard that when owners change out the gear for a 3.73 or even a 3.31 they have the backlash made tighter and it remedies the issue. However, I wanted to hear from anyone if that was true. I want to upgrade the driveshaft anyway, but I wanted to potentially identify if it was an immediate problem first. The rear axle doesnt stick out per say side to side but looking top down on each side of the wheel well it seems like that axle is crooked (wheel forward more on the driver's side and wheel rearward more on the passenger side, however more extreme on the passenger which I have yet to understand why that is the case with a solid axle).
