1999 9-5 lpt. 150k mi on all original front suspension parts but live in pothole free south FL.
been having clunking and rattling noises from front left as already discussed so planning to replace the sway bar links. I did raise and remove both front wheels today to look around. I could get ever so slight a feel for a move in the sway bar links. nothing I could see, only slightly feel like a mm. lower sockets had ripped covers. sway bar bushings looked good. no other visual or tugging revealed anything else.
so, I am going for the sway bar links but am guessing I will still have this rattle. struts? how long do struts last and how can I tell if bad? car seems to ride fine but could be decaying for 11 years little each day so I dont notice. and if struts ($$$$) then what else on the strut? upper mounts (also $$) and mount seals? what else? ball joint?
oh and eEuro only list ScanTech sway bar links.....OK? erad about lot of people complaining about ScanTech.
