Hello all:

If you read my previous posts about lots of noise from the rt front suspension, it was defintely the sway bar connecting link. If you bounce the car and hear clicking that's the first place I would look. When driving and hitting bumps it sounds really loud. I drove on the new struts about 100 miles before this noise suddenly appeared and I haven't a clue why it failed.

As to the new struts I never would have attempted it except I read so many posts from you guys who had done it yourself. I have done lots of shocks but never struts. Now I know how to do it. Bilestein TC at all four corners and they seem a bit stiffer than the OEM, but the old shocks were so shot at 77K that anything would seem stiffer. Good control but not too hard on the wife (her car). If it were my car I would have opted for the HD's.
