'98 V70 Front end clunking, spring seat and swaybar link feel tight

posted by  someone claiming to be Frank on  Fri Jul 1 10:12 CST 2011 [RELATED]


My mom's '98 V70 has a definite clunking over bumps in the right front. But the "usual suspects" seem to be innocent. Turning the top nut encounters firm resistance that springs right back (feels the same as the other side, which has no clunk) and the swaybar link has no movement.

One question: Does this "turning" test show that the spring seat is OK? Or can a bad spring seat still feel OK like this?
