I edited my post above yours..

Don't have a thud under acceleration but I never accelerate hard in the Ex.

Only hear this new sound when turning and on unlevel ground like a driveway or a dip in road.

Rear anti-wrap bumpers are a simple 15 minute job to replace.

Your sound is likey one of the items listed in post 3

Front sway bar link/mount or shock is my guess

Nope, other pics are the sway bar end links. Tie rods are steering parts.

Wow! How did you do that diagram? I will look when I get home if it's still light out. I had trouble orienting with your last pic.

Thanks!

That diagram has been floating around for awhile, looks like it was don't in a simple paint program.

FYI......it isn't your exact model but the parts and set up is similar. You have leaf springs and that is a coil spring f250..... but it highlights the main components.

The last pic is what your rear leaf spring rubber bumper should look like....yours is worn down to a nub.
