What would cause a thumping or clunking noise that stops when braking in the front end of a 93 Ford Taurus that started after having new tires put on?

Check the lug nuts immediately. Check tha clip that holds the brake pad on. I had a loose pad that made more of a tick sound that went away when I pressed on the brakes

Thumping noise coming from left rear wheel on 97 Taurus sounds like wheel is rubbing against something why?
Have that tire checked sometimes the belts inside can break and cause a thumping noise
Why would you feel a thumping when you turn the wheel to the left and feel it throughout the car 2001 Taurus?
This is often a problem with the CV joint.
What causes thumping and wobbling in front wheels of 2002 Ford Taurus se?
No one can offer you a *safe* answer - the ONLY thing you should do it take the car for a professional inspection.You can hope for something simple like a tire gone bad, but only a real live person looking at the vehicle can tell you what is wrong - and you don't want to be taking chances when it comes to the front steering/suspension/braking/linkages of your car.
Why would a '92 Ford Taurus make a thumping noise on acceleration?
Hey Sandra==The only thing I can think of is if the engine and trans mounts are broken. Have them checked out. Good luck, Joe
What is the clunking noise from a 2001 Ford Taurus left front strut area that happens when the wheels are turned to the right going over bumps as in entering and exiting parking lots?
The cause of the clunking is probably the sway bar link. They are made of white platic and eventually wear out. Both sides were shot on my 2001 Taurus at 75,000 miles. It is a job you can do your self if you are handy with tools. The parts are About $28.00 per side at your local auto parts store and about $38.00 each at the Ford Dealer.
What is the clunking noise coming from the rear end of your Ford Taurus?
It is most likely one of three things... 1 broken strut spring 2 worn out sway bar bushing 3 loose muffler

Taurus shaking at high speeds and when braking at high speeds?
Check the entire front end. Wheel bearings, ball joints and tie rod ends can all wear and call this problem.
If a 1999 Taurus has been making a constant thumping noise and motion from the rear passenger side wheel but the tire is fine what could be wrong?
You could try testing the hub. lift car and shake tire. if it shakes you need a new hub. My 1998 Taurus has a tortion/sway bar in the back. There is a rod that holds the end of the tortion bar in place. I had a thumping noise and found out that the end of that rod had broken off. The rod was about $10.00 at the local auto part store. It was very easy to replace. Jack up car, remove rear wheel and then the rod has rubber bushings and a nut at each end to hold it on.
Where is the fuel shut off switch on a 1996-1999 Ford Taurus?
The Ford Taurus is equipped with an Inertial Fuel Shutoff Switch that is triggered when the vehicle is hit from behind or involved in an accident. This switch can inadvertently trigger during aggressive braking or road conditions. On the 1996-1999 Generation 3 Ford Taurus/ Mercury Sable, It is located in the trunk, on the right side behind the carpet paneling in a harness block attached to the upper trunk wall.
If your birthday May 1 what is your sign?
