It can happen on big bumps or even the little ones.. Driving me crazy cuz I cannot pin point it.. Any suggestions,, Could it be a broken spring? 1998.5 Silver Frost SVT #4978 of 6535 160,000 miles and still going..

My Mystique would still make a loud tap on some bumps (right rear). There is a raised ridge around the swaybar, it hit the corner of the frame because the swaybar had wear. Take a close look at the swaybar, you will see wear, where it hits. You might be able to shim under the D shaped isolator.
