So over the past 2 summers, I've replaced a few things.. Last year is was the Front Upper and lower Ball Joints, and a Wheel Hub. This year, I was getting wheel hop on the front end, so I replaced all 4 corners with Monroe Quick Struts and End Links. All things have been a welcome (huge) improvement, but I still get some sloppy fluttery clunking under there when I hit big bumps, or say a bump on 1 wheel.
Because they were so cheap, I even replaced the Front Swaybar Bushings, and frankly the original ones looked mint. But the SB itself has deteriorated to a smaller diameter where it rides in the Bushings. It would squeak sometimes depending on the weather, so I needed to at least disassemble to lubricate..
Really the only thing left are the Control Arms complete.. But I wonder if there's something under there more common like an Axle Bushing or Motor/Trans Mount..
What say you??
