Backing out of a parking space sometimes I get a loud click noise with a small jar... anyone every had this problem? The car is lowered but the problem is not consistent enough to make me worry about the lowering kit.
Loud Clicking when in reverse with wheels turned???

Yea my 98 gt does it too, I am thinking the swaybar bushings are binding possibly but havent gotten around to fixing. My 06 gt did it alittle also with only 20,000 miles on it so something is weird backing out in reverse while cutting wheels !! I notice if I start out easy and turn wheel easy both ways before backing up it won't do it. This is why I suspect bushings, either swaybar or possibly endlinks or something..
I will try that but it does not have to be in a hard turn it will just randomly click and slightly shake the car just does not feel good so I concerned a little.

Yep, my 2000 GT did the same thing, changed the Lower Ball-joints, the problem seem to have disappeared.

110 115 thousand miles. Ford manual reccomends to change the joints at 100,000 miles.
This is exactly what is happening, I guess I will look into both items thanks for the help!

Yea, it is annoying and if not expecting it can startle you. think I will look at the inner tierod also because my bushings only have small outer cracks but aren't totally dryrotted, endlinks look ok also. I think the lowering makes it more noticeable.
keep forgetting to get new sigpic.
