Lol it’s funny because I’m having the same problem with mine!!!!! I have a 2014 mkz Lincoln hybrid and had a mechanic look at it and he told me it was one thing and had it fixed. Told me it was another thing had it fix. Then he said I need shocks so got those done and it stopped but it wasn’t the shocks either!!!! Lol I’ve taken it back to my mechanic 4 times and he couldn’t figure it out.. It was just that the bolt on top of the shock and shock mount was loose!!! Lol It’s still happening so I have to get a new bolt or see if the top of the shock is stripped.. Yup that was the problem that you tightened!!! Good luck fam!!!

Well it’s a Ford. Mine does the same thing besides, my heater works fine. Wait until your purge valve starts to give. I guess it’s very common If you do a lot of stopping and starting, it was stall out it’s fine for point a two point B driving And it’s a pain in the ass if you’re gonna try to fix it yourself it’s very easy to get to, but they made it where you can’t just change out the part you have to change out all the hoses

@@JayCeeMax I just got a 2014 MKZ and love it, but have noticed rear vibration. I’m hoping it’s a bent rim and not the drive shaft. How is the ride in yours? Mines a little rough compared to a MKS I test drive. I was curious if that’s expected? Great video man

[@JayCeeMax]

@@N1CH0LAS12 I have a mkS playlist as well on this channel. The 2009 mkS is a more smoother ride, but it drives sluggish at first roll because it's so heavy. But it is smoother than the 2013 mkZ. The mkZ is more zippy and faster but it jerks at 10-15 mph and then again at 25-30 mph. Many people have complained about these transmission issues in the forums and I abhor it. Other than that, the mkZ is a great ride. I did not notice any rear virbrations. Just rear clunking as shown in this video. The clunking was fixed in the very next video after this in the mkZ playlist on this channel.

Hi..not sure if you found the source, but I had that same noise and it was the shocks. Found out that they are hydraulic and was leaking fluid. Replaced both and the noise was gone.

I responded to this video a year ago regarding body bushings that could’ve been the problem so also had a clunking noise on my 2010 mkz today I finally solved the problem turns out it was the tool kit for the jack bouncing around in my trunk when I would hit a bump, only took me a year o figure it out, by the time I figure all the other minor problems out I figure my car will be a legitimate antique that my wife can sell cause I’m not thinking I’ll make it to 2035.

I went to Ford and they deduced the the 6F50 6F55 Solenoid Assembly Transmission Control Module needs to be replaced. I never fixed it. So I don't know if changing it will actually fix the transmission jerking at certain speeds.

Coming from a mechanic I think the shock is the issue how it was kind of a clunking noise with a little vibration makes it sound like a shock. Plus it looks like it’s leaking fluid it shouldn’t be oily like that. I hope you fixed the issue though. I have a 2018 Lincoln mkz and it would bother the crap out of me if I had something like that especially since it’s supposed to be a quiet soft riding car.

You need new rear shocks and shock mounts. They're blown. Mine did the exact same thing (also a 2013 3.7), left rear shock was blown and wouldn't come back up... I can tell by how rusty it is, that it is original.

[@JayCeeMax]

Thanks Justen!!. Why do these parts fail so soon?? I wasn't even close to 100,000 miles when they failed.

[@JM811Cars]

@@JayCeeMax it seems fairly common for them to fail, to me it seems like more or less an age thing vs miles. Mine had 116k when they failed. Id recommended doing the mount as well, it might still be good but you dont really want to have to do it again when it does.

[@ManiacsWorld]

@@JayCeeMax Also, the 20" rims are likely much heavier (unless high end lightweight ones) than stock rims and will accelerate shock and shock mount wear. If the car is lowered that will exacerbate it even more.

[@JayCeeMax]

@@JM811Cars Thanks for all of your advice Justen. I hear you on the mounts as well. I actually took them apart and they are still pristine at the moment. I did some research where some only changed the shock absorber mounts and some just the shock absorbers. I will try the absorbers for now as money is tight. It's ok if I have to de-tire again if the mounts do actually fail. It will give me something to do if necessary. Thanks again. New video coming soon!!

​@@ManiacsWorld Maniac in da house!! You are right that aftermarket parts can accelerate wear. But I remember hearing the clunking, clinking and clanking a few months after I purchased it in October 2018. I was extremely disappointed to hear the noise. So now it's time to fix this mug!

I had a similar issue with my Mkz. I had the shock absorbers replaced and it still didn’t fix the issue. I then took the car to another mechanic for another look and they removed the driver side tire where the noise was coming from and noticed right away that the 2 bolts that tighten down the brake caliber weren’t even screwed in at all.

[@darrynjarrett3696]

Not sure if you ever figured out what your issue was. I have a 2014 MKZ that had the exact same issue just on the passenger side. The bushings are going bad in the rear end. You can test this by taking WD40 or brake fluid and spray the bushings, let them sit for about 10 min and then spray them again. Ensure that you hit them all then take the car for a ride again. As far as the rear shock, if you see oil on the outside of the encasement then you need to replace them. The seals on the shocks are bad.

The rubber bushings on the lower control arm appears to be worn out from your pictures also check the rear swaybar bushings

[@JayCeeMax]

Thanks for the feedback J & J! I replaced the lower control arms two videos ahead of this one titled: "How to Replace Lower Control Arms and Spring to Fix Noisy Suspension" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4OQc52siJmhitk). The sway bar bushings turned out to be OK! Thanks again. -J.C. Max

This might sound like a dumb question, you sound like you know a lot about cars, but it happens, have you checked the spare tire lock? I have a Lincoln MKX 13’ and when I bought mine in 16’ the dealership had put a new one in but didn’t secure it. It sounded just like that and it sounded like it was from the wheel.

[@JayCeeMax]

You're fine bro. There are no dumb questions. What you are saying is a great place to start when diagnosing random sound from the back as sometimes it can really be that easy. This particular rear end issue has been found and is documented on the very next video. Take a look 😊 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ6bnop6hc2FmLs Thanks for your great feedback mate Ryan D!

Modern Ford made product! Found the issue! lol but seriously, modern american made cars have been a joke for 10+ years now. as the market requires more electronics and more complex transmissions(torque converter autos were fine and good ones lasted 300k miles) in cars, they get worse and worse. but what really makes most of them horrible is the penny savings they are doing in all parts of the cars. but anyways, I just stick to japanese cars to avoid all of these horror stories. and the hondas/mazdas have the good driving qualities I like.

I have the same car. 2013 Lincoln MKZ. I had that sound. My issue was a missing disc brake screw. Forgive me I'll describe it. The Disc brakes are secured with 2 long screws that are screws on one end and have recessed allen wrench heads on the opposite end. Anyway, during a brake pad change they neglected to put one back and the other was loose. Yummy... NOT!!! made the same sound. Just a guess
