Often, it's the bushing in a 'cup' -- rear end of 'A' arm inserts into it at firewall .... 200 1986

Okay, the subject line says what I mean. At the firewall (near the bottom where it goes from vertical to sloped), there is a metal "cup" (of sorts) with a large rubber bushing in it (I changed mine to poly, though) that holds a rearward extension of the lower "A" arm. My terminology may not be right, but you should recognize what I mean when you look at it.

When that bushing goes, the A arm jams metal-to-metal against the firewall every time you hit a bump in the road.

I think that's your likely cause based on how you described it.

Good luck, and happy holidays.
