Thank you. I read your post this morning and went out and checked all the suspension points you discussed and, lo and behold, the right rear drop link attachment at the 'pinch point' required re-torqueing to the tune of 3/4 turn.

I had been experiencing a 'clunking' or 'rattling' noise over expansion joints while driving slowly and i was convinced was from the front. I had replaced the sway bar bushings front and rear and although the noise was less pronounced it was still there.

This solution of ensuring the proper torque on the various bolts has done the trick. I was very close to pulling the trigger and buying new drop links all around but now i can put that off until they do start to fail.

Again, thank you.
