'89 240...New ball joints, tie rod ends (inner and outer), new Sachs Advantage struts, new control arm bushings, new strut mounts.

I thought at first that it had to be that the sway bar wasn't tightened..but I don't think that's what it is.

I've heard that sometimes new struts have to have some sort of bushing under the shock...maybe that's causing the noise. I dunno.

Got any quick ideas for troubleshooting??? It only makes the noise when I turn right. It happens when I'm braking to make the turn, then actually into the turn, you can hear the creak and knock. Sounds like it's coming from the passenger side front wheel area.

Should I check the upper strut bolt?? (under the little rubber cover)??
