i have been having this click sound (wich i believe is my suspension) for a while now and i still cant figure it out. it seems to be coming from the passenger side front. i hear it when i brake hard, hit certain bumps, i hear it mostly when i reverse out of a parking spot. i am considering installing new lower controll arms since im going to be redoing my front brakes. plus the bat arms are only $55 each. i think someone once mentioned the stabilizer end links, but how can i check those?

Just FYI, control arms for a 98 are not going to be $55. At least they shouldn't be. They should be around $100 or so each.

Check sway bar links and bushings. Figure 4 in Autozone link.

i have the bat catalog and it says the 2 bolt control arms are $55 each. and mine has 2 bolts on each arm.

Yeah, you are right. I looked at your sig which says 98 but you actually have a 98.5.

98 should all have 4 bolt LCA's, but 98.5 and later switched to 2 bolt.

the sway bar end links are only$17.50 each from bat. ill do those first and hope that takes care of that problem.
