I just replaced the entire suspension on my 98 base 5 speed (103k miles). The arms and links weren't too bad, but the shocks were dead. It now drives way nicer, but there is still a little problem with the rear post rework alignment (I discussed in another post-still not resolved). When I make a reasonably hard left turn, there is a vibration and noise that seems to come from the front right side. I am not sure, but it almost seems like the front corner drops at the same time. Its a little scary.

The front alignment is right on spec, and all bolts are torqued per the Bentley manual. Anyone have thoughts or is it time to cave and bring it in to my independent repair guy?
