Thanks to all of you who replied to my earlier post!
Here's a recap. I have replaced every single bushing,ball join, strut and mount on both sides of my car 89 740.
When I hit a speed bump or pot hole the right strut makes a pretty loud clunking sound and it can be felt in the car. It is more pronounce when I have a passenger in the car. The driver's side seems fine. The car also pulls ever so lightly to the right hand side.
I got home tonight after driving my truck ( ford ranger the only reason it's not a volvo is I needed some thing w/ a bed. oh how I wish volvo would make a p'up)
And tried retightening the top strut nut as someone suggested no luck as tight as could be. Could it be possible that the wheel bearing is worn and needs to be replaced? I'm going to replace them a any how.
What else could it be. Steering rack is fine tie rod are too!
Thanks in advance.
CJ
