I took the ol' t-bird in to Ford the other day due to some creaking in the front and a rattle on the passenger side front. To my relief it was only the bumper being loose so they tightend the sucker up and away I went. Much to my dissapointment I no more than pulled out the lot and clunk, clunk, rattle, squeeky, squeeky!!!!! Darrgh! They told me the front suspension was tight and no rattles. anybody have some input here?
 
Sounds like the front suspension is worn out. Can you jack it up yourself and see if there is play in any of the parts? Look to see if boots on ball joints are worn or gone on control arms and tie rod ends.
 
Sounds like the rattle could be sway bar end links.

And the squeak could be from the upper control arm bushings (to the body). Have the UCAs been replaced?
