A must read:

Removal of the strut requires a new front end alignment. Someone took a pencil and traced the strut on the steering arm(?) so that when he got it all back together it was aligned real close to specs. His alignment shop said it didn't need to be aligned, saved him $100.

The strut bolts need to be replaced. Get them from the dealer, FCP has smaller bolts and the torque is tremendous.

Are you sure the swaybar end links are not worn? They make the same kind of noise.
