Suspension banging
Yesterday on our maiden journey home with the 73 Imperial, the front suspension had a substantial banging noise when encountering potholes. Actually very loud, like solid metal on solid metal, not exhaust tubing or thin stuff.
We noticed that it seemed to come more from our foot area…we also noticed that when hitting bumps [that affected both wheels at the same time] it didn’t produce a sound.
So during the ride I was studying the factory service manual, and found the exploded diagram with…

Last week I picked up a 2006 model that was in an accident with a deer. It’s been sitting 2 years. Was told it ran and drove normally with no issues before the accident. 168k on the odometer. With a fresh battery I can hear the fuel pump prime in the ON position, but turning the key to START does absolutely nothing. No starter noise or clicking.
