I recently bought a pair of Eibachs, and I'm going to be installing them hopefully in the next week, and afew days prior to recieving them, my suspension starting making some wierd noises.
Much more noticeable when turning sharply, or quickly with a little speed, there is a loud audible "clunk", or "clank" coming from one of the front wheels. I've been unable to isolate it, and don't really know what it could be, but I'm trying to get an idea so that I can fix it when I do my spring install. There's nothing unusual other than that, no bounciness (ie, blown strut), no visible sagging or anything. I'm pretty clueless on what it could be. It's a 97 SE, the struts were replaced at around 75k miles, it's got about 95k on it now. Any ideas?

Sounds like your strut bearing is on the way out.Originally posted by ereet
