I finally was able to solve my front end clunk problem with the help of a guy named Rich Frolich in Voorheesville, NY. The local dealer diagnosed the problem as struts, strut mountings, bearings, etc., and was going to charge me $700 for the job. Rich analyzed the situation, saw that the struts and the bearings, etc., were good, and retorqued everything, inpsected everything, and guess what, $48.00 later the problem is fixed. That's service. Never assume a dealer's diagnosis is correct. I have had several misdiagnoses from the one in Albany.

I do need to replace my sway bar bushings and need to ascertain what the diameter of my sway bar is - anyone know if the 1991 745 turbo had a 22 mm sway bar or a 19mm? I would suspect the fatter one, but I wondered if anyone happened to know. (I guess I could always get out there with my dial caliper and not be so lazy, but it is getting COLD in upstate NY.)

Thanks
