    For sake of ease Ford elongated the hole in the driver side lower control arm to simplify wheel alignment during assembly. As result the control arm can slide laterally (typically during slow, hard turns) causing a "clunk" sound. Ford acknowledged this and attempted to remedy the issue by using LCA bolts with serrations in hopes that they would bite into the LCA and prevent the unwanted motion. This wasn't overly successful however. Then someone came up with a simple, cheap solution... the clunk washer (also called Herb's Washers after the inventor's namesake). Herb no longer sells them but they are available through LFP (Lightning Force Performance). When rebuilding the front suspension, installing cam bolts, or when experiencing the "clunk" its worth while to add clunk washers.
