Need advice:
Went to dealer, told me I needed a new passenger stab link. Mechanic told me that was what was making the clunking noise in front end when I went over bumps (clunk was on the driver side strangely enough). I checked the link, it was a little loose...so I gave the go-ahead on the repair. Drove away, clunking still there.
I want to fix this...but I don't want the next garage to replace everything and not fix the problem. Any ideas on what the clunk might be? The front end has a little more bounce than it should, so I know the struts are wearing but there is no signs of leaking etc. What other things should I be considering? Strut mounts? How can I tell a strut mount is bad without removing a strut? I am fairly familiar with suspension systems, but I don't have the time and room to get under the car myself...not to mention the heated garage.
If anyone else has had the same problem and had it fixed, let me know.
Thank a lot!
