I am curious if anyone can tell me how to check the front bushings. they
appear ok but I experience a noise when driving over the smallest ripple
on the road. I dont believe I have a problem with the struts because I
cannot duplicate the noise by bouncing the front end.
I would not call it a "clunk" not quite that bass a sound, slightly
higher. I believe I am in need of upper strut mounts but dont think that
that is the cause of this sound, as the smallest bump will create the
noise and there isnt that much movement of the strut associated with the
noise. any tips would be appreciated
