My 1990 740 turbo wagon has developed a front-end rattle/clunk on the passenger side. It actually feels like something is about to come off. Ball joints, stabilizer end links, bushings, brake caliper all look good. I have already searched through the archives and FAQ's but could not nail down the root cause of my problem.

With the wheels firmly on the ground I did the following test: Bump/push the top (12 o'clock) of the wheels/tires and noticed a distinct give and a semi-clunk sound on the passenger side, but nothing on the driver side. I'm suspecting the strut mount or the hub. I've replaced the shocks with "Boge" 2 yrs ago. The hub looks and sounds fine (I don't hear any humming or grinding). I tried to see if the hub nut is loose, but could not knock off the seal to look in. I believe I have a sealed hub--please correct me if I'm wrong. As I mentioned above, the busings, and other lower connects are really solid.

Your inputs please, Thank you!
