while your mount looked a bit rusty, it kinda looks ok. if they dont move leave em. and then check your lca's, they were the source of a lot of my front end noise. after new lca's i no longer hear thumps or bumps when i hit bumps and pot holes, still avoid them but when you have no choice it rides better over them now.


and for all you front end clunker guys check the lca"s, they cost 100 shipped to your door on line.

or theirs a guy selling a pair and a solid sway for 100 all new. on this site.

i really cant believe hes still trying to sell them, i thought they'd last a day or 2 but still there. its a killer deal if you ask me.

Torn bushing and worn out bal joint

lower control arms, they have 2 rubber bushings that bolt to the sub frame, and the ball joint on it. when they get old they make lots of clunking noise over bumps or turning.

how about rear clunking ? passenger side ? endlinks have a little play, sway bar and strut seems good
