Struts, spring, anti-rollbars, braces and the like.

New struts not the complete answer?

Post by Lorryb »

I just finished putting GR-2s all around my 91 Legacy AWD wagon. They are a vast improvement over my old worn out struts but I am still getting some clunking up front around the right strut. Any ideas what could be the culprit? Ball joints? tie rod ends? any other guesses?
The GR-2 s are sure nice, it has helped the droopy butt my wagon has had since I swapped out the air suspension.

Top mounts or antiroll bar bushings.

check the front sway bar endlinks. you might just want to replace them with the whiteline metal endlinks ~$50.
