This comes from the weekly "Motorway" section in the Long Beach Press Telegram. "It's inevitable. Some time during the life of your vehicle, you will have to replace some pieces of the front suspension, often because the bushings wear out. Why are bushings needed? You don't want to feel every bump in the road, so your car is suspended via flexible joints that allow the wheels to move with the road while keeping the ride smooth and level. The bushings are used at the points where the car is 'hinged' to the suspension. Rubber, polygraphite and polyurethane are among the common materials used in bushings. These materials keep the fit of the suspension components tight while providing enough 'give' to help the components last. Materials such as rubber soften the 'feel' of the car, while stiffer materials, such as polyurethane, add noise and, usually, ride harshness. Over time, these 'soft parts' wear out and need replacing. Clunking and rattling are usually the first signs of bushings that are ready for replacement." So basically you should also check your bushings. I don't know if this is the problem or has anything to do with your problem just thought I would through it out there as an idea. Hope it helps
